The Water Lily

Mum’s had a water lily in the pond for quite a while, but ever since we’ve decided to clear the fish out of the pond, it’s had trouble flowering in its new home in a pot. We don’t know if it’s the pond water or the marine life that’s kept it alive, but last year she finally gave up on it and threw it away. As Christmas was approaching, I thought what would make a nicer gift than a new one for next year? We’d been into a shop that was recommended to us to get some pond cleaner; and we had a browse while we were there. She did like the look of their water lilies but thought that they were a bit on the expensive side, so I decided to treat her. The only problem that I’ve got now is taking her back to the shop so that she can pick something that she likes.
