    Might help :)

    "The blue water lily may be grown from seed, but this requires patience, for the plants take 3 to 4 years to flower. It is difficult to collect the seed, because the seed pods burst without much warning and the seeds disperse and sink quite soon. A common practice is to tie a muslin bag around the ripening pod. In this way after it bursts, the seeds cannot float away. The seed can be sown in spring and during summer (September-January). Finely sieved clean loam soil without any organic matter or fertiliser is best. Seed should be sown thinly, covered lightly with soil and then plunged into shallow water, no deeper than 2.5 cm, and placed in a sunny position. Germination should take 3-4 weeks The seedlings will look like fine grass at first, developing true leaves later. When the first two or three floating leaves appear the seedling should be pricked out and planted into individual containers and immersed back in the water. They may be submerged into deeper water and larger containers as they grow and lengthen."

    Good luck

    Yeah the seeds I get from my local Organic green grocery are very strong (Cant think of the brand but I'll have a look when I get home). The seeds are so stuck together that they are in clumps as big as a five cent peice! 125grm jars and 3 jars are certainly enough in a wash. Also try local markets and little Indian wholesale outlets, I get GREAT White seeds from a little Indian store that does not even look like a shop from the outside & is located in an industrial area. There just big sacks of all kinds of rice, grains & spices all over the floor & is the only place I have found these great white seeds!

    Good luck!

    Get the Grandparents to watch the young one for a few hours and take your girl out for a meal & have a bunch of beautiful flowers waiting on the car seat for her! If she's not Breastfeeding buy a nice bottle of wine and both relax and catch up with each other as we can easily loose touch with each other after kids!

    I've been with my partner for 4 years now (not married) and have a 3 yr old girl & a 18 month old boy. I work but have always been very hands on as a father from the minute I cut both cords :) I was the first to hold our children, the first to change there dirty nappies, the first to bath their little bodies! My partner breast fed up until 12 months old with both but she would express milk so I could also feed the kids at all the awkward times! It's been hard with also working a 45+ hour week as I have had NO life of my own for 3 years now & average 5 hours of sleep a night but I know that will all change when they are off to school in a few years time. The payoff is that it is so rewarding to have such a great relationship with your kids as they are just big sponges at this stage in there life & god they can make me laugh!

    Yeah I reckon a break for you both would be GREAT or even a picnic somewhere beautiful. Also if you dont work weekends maybe you could give her a Saturday or a Sunday off every week as a reward for raising your beautiful child! I know that after spending 14 hours everyday of the week with two kids under 3 is a very tough job & my partner loves her Sundays off as she can catch up with family & friends & talk to grown ups once again!

    Good luck :)

    Yeah I find during real hot spells that my Eileen's do tend to get abit lighter in colour as they are in full sun but they always return to that bluey green colour during winter!

    Eileen also really loves a good drink every 2nd day here in the west during the heat :)

    All mine are in pots also!
