Hi,

I have 1 red and 1 white - Nymphaea Attraction & Nymphaea Marliacea Albida off the top of my head ;D .

I sincerely hope I've planted them correctly. The instructions state that I should plant the lily rhizome in the middle of the basket with the "crown" of the rhizome sitting 1 cm above the compost level.  Now I wasn't sure what the "crown" of the Rhizome was so I assumed that it was the bit opposite what looked like the roots.  Is that right? :-\  It also says to plant at a depth of 2-3 foot which I have done, but I again wasn't sure whether or not to do this straight away or to build up/down to this depth??

Apparently the box indicates a planting time of March to May with a flowering time from May to September.  Now I'm not really expecting big things this year in the flowering department but If they send up a couple of pads each then I'll be happy.
