I just had to tell someone……
My Tina Tropical Day-Blooming Water Lily Finally Bloomed!
I purchased my Tropical Day-Blooming Water Lily at a local pond store around the end of September. It was fully developed and much too big for my 65g aquarium as expected. After lots of pruning and cleaning, I planted it in my aquarium. The fist few weeks were slow as it adapted to the new environment. After 6 weeks of nourishment and care, it finally bloomed. It only took 14 days to go from a formed bud to a bloom. During that time 4 more buds formed and one is expected to reach the surface within a week!
Family: Nymphaeaceae
Genus: Nymphaea
Cultivar: Tina
