    Post #8651042

    And I am so excited! I have no idea what color it's going to be. I bought it last year and forgot to ask. Looks like it will be pink though. I kept it in a pot submerged all winter. This spring I thought for sure it was dead and had pulled it out to take back for an exchange. Fortunately I kept it in a 5 gallon bucket of water. Lo and behold I started seeing something green. So I took it out of its pot and dropped it into a whiskey barrel. And now this!! I'm amazed at how fast the bud is growing. I wish I had started taking pictures the first day just to see the growth. I know I should be fertilizing but I can't find any pond plant fertilizer in any of the local stores. My leaves just aren't the dark green I feel they should be. We have had many storms over the past month and the poor leaves show the damage. So any suggestions for on line purchasing? I just had to share my excitement!
