Re: Remove spent lily flowers or not?

Hi Malcolm, I usually snip off the spent lily heads and fish them out before they can rot too much. Because the flowers are so large and on the basis they're not native (well mine aren't) I figure the pond can do without having to "digest" them, since there's plenty of healthy sludge there already.

Hope this helps.
