Lily Pad for Ponds, 9 PCS Artificial Lotus

This product is beautiful edition to your outdoor water pond. The colors are beautiful and it is clearly a top-notch product I would order them again.

They looked so real, raccoons pulled them out of the pond and ate them!!

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.

Really cute, perfect for the pond

Ok these look great in our fountain. We have a fairly large 6' diameter fountain so you better order two... these are pretty light. They will blow out. I was thinking to weigh them down. I'm not sure getting a heavier product would help there

Our fishes and frogs like them

Looks artificial.

They are correct size and weght. Remember, they are artificial.

Received very promptly and item as described.

The flowers and leaves are lovely and do as we wanted. To give the fish a bit of shade. I was going to mark down one star because the one of the flowers turns upside if there's any wind but I didn't want to be petty. Very happy with the purchase

Product photo misleading. You don’t get everything you see. You’d have to buy two sets and these aren’t worth it.

absolute rubbish

Get what you pay for, look ok in the outdoor pond, I’ve stitched together to form a cover for the fish, very green and look very fake
