Lily Pad for Ponds, 9 PCS Artificial Lotus, Realistic Water Floating Foam Lotuses Fake Lily Pad for Home Garden Patio Pond

These are sooo pretty! Very pleased with the purchase.

They are fun!

After reading the review by "Beckster", I followed their advice to make these lily pads look more like what you would see in nature. I bought 5 sets as shown in the attached photos. First, I used scissors to cut slits in the lily pads. Google pictures of real pads and you can see what they look like in nature. I found some dark wood stain and yellow and gray spray paint in the garage. I sprayed just a little of both colors into disposable plastic containers and using a SMALL painters brush dabbed a little gray in the center and yellow in various spots. The yellow simulates a dying or wilting spot and when used with the dark stain it looks pretty real. I also used the dark stain on the edges of both the green pads and a few of the flower pedals so they did not appear so perfect. I was going for the look of some fresh lily pads and some dying/wilting pads because that is how they really look in nature. Note, when painting I found it better to just daub the brush tip (with very little paint) to make a series of dots instead of painting a long stroke. If you do not have dark stain use black spray paint sprayed from a far distance. And lastly, I used E6000 glue (best glue in the world and a must have - available on Amazon - even works underwater) to glue the pedals together in my desired layout. To keep the pedals anchored in the desired location I used fishing line glued to a small rock (with E600) and wrapped the other loose end of the line around an area where the pedals were glued together and it worked great! My my only real complaint of this product is they provided to many small pads with flowers and not enough plain large lily pads. I ended up not using several of the small pedals with flowers.

Much more realistic in looks and style than my past orders of multicolored lillies! I truly love them in my fountain/pond!

Algae forms on flowers if not kept clean, and can’t clean off. Pads are flimsy.

Looked very realistic and full of life. Ended up returning only because we ran out of space in our fountain to use them.

Very fake looking

Great value, very good quality as well
