Water Lily Growth Spurt & Giant Clematis Blooms

Last week I posted a photo of the Water Lily in the small pond, well here is the GrandDaddy Water Lily in the large pond. The leaves are much larger and a very different shape from the rounded leaves in the small pond. If they continue at this pace, they'll break the water surface this week and maybe I'll get a nice looking flower.
Below is a picture of the giant beautiful Clematis flowers that bloomed in the past week. Last year spring was pretty dry and the few blooms we had weren't as impressive as these. The plant has another dozen like these and a bunch of buds still to bloom.
