Lilly Folly

One tries to build a little garden around ones' home. You start by planting all kinds of trees and lastly why not a little Lilly pond at the front yard to attract mosquitoes and frogs. You start by reading the instructions for having a Lilly pond, collect muddy soil, collect the plant and so on. Once everything is done you wait to watch your plant flower. weeks pass by, months pass by. There is no change to your plant. In fact it has lost some of its leaves to the weather. You watch your plant die slowly.You give up hope and start growing water hyacinth in the pond. One day you step outside go for an evening walk and see a muddy river, orange in colour. And you look closely and see something else too. A water Lilly in full bloom, healthy and Can it get any bigger??? No... Can be this be called as one of the jokes nature plays on you.. do not try to replicate everything present in the nature???
