My pond is now about 4 weeks old. I am slowly populating it with fish and plants. I am hesitant to pay $35 for a small water lily since my pond is mostly shaded and I don't think it would flower. And, well, I guess I'm cheap.
My brother-in-law lives on a small lake loaded with water lillies. I'd like to "relocate" a few into my pond (that's not really stealing, is it?).
However, I think I recall reading that it isn't a good idea, although I can't remember why. Maybe something about bringing something unwanted into my pond. Algae, parasites, etc?
Is there any reason I would regret taking a few?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
