Lily Pond

[Peter S]

If I am right these flower are Nicotianas (Tobacco Plant), very scented in the early evenings. to me the stronger scented ones are the whites.
If these are the dwarf variety, up to about 10-12 inches, they are unscented, sad to say. (I hope they are the normal ones)

Craig, your filter really accomplishes what you set out to do, the picture definitely 'pops'.

Peter, I'm not sure what those flowers are, I named the picture after the lily pads but those flowers weren't growing in the pond but off to the side. When I lived in Canada, I had a flower bed full of the Nicotianas, a neighbor had given me seeds. As I recall, the type that I had, the flowers stayed closed during daylight and opened in the evenings and were scented. I loved those plants and am hoping to order some seeds for next year, once I find a suitable place to build another flower bed.

Whoa hang on. These plants give thousands of seeds out, ask the neighbours I'm sure they would love to share them, gardeners do.
They will germinate okay, you just can't guarantee what colours you will get, but you should get lots of different shades which is good.
