    Oh, not already. I thought the cold spring would have done for a few - my lilies are barely visible yet so they must be going hungry - I hope.

    Well took one out of the water but still alive ( no longer ). Other 2 from off a lilly, they joined the other one.

    My lilly is about 8 inches high and in a partly sheltered spot in sun when we get some from about midday.
