This is the first year for us to purchase from Texas Waterlilies but again it has been 10 years since my sister had ponds. At that time you could buy them at Home Depot and maybe Wal-Mart, no Lowe's in the area. We were also just a short distance from Van Ness Water Gardens and had purchased some there and a few from other local vendors who are no longer in business. We were just at Van Ness last month and they have very few lilies in the ponds. I guess they order them now. Most people in this area have taken out their ponds due to the water shortage I guess. We also found out that Martin Randig (1897-1967) lived in San Bernardino just a few minutes away from where we lived! It would be interesting to know exactly where. Well the lilies and lotus will be a blessing when the hot weather gets here!
