My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

water lilies disappearing

22 years ago

I have been trying to grow flowering water lilies in a lake in my back yard. The problem is as soon as the send up a stem and a leaf it disappears. I believe turtles are eating them.

Is there a water lily that the turtles will stay clear of ?
