OPAL's Ponds

On this page you can view photos of our aquatic plants operations, showing our ponds and some close-ups of aquatic plants. Our ponds are located about 200 km north of Bangkok in a serene setting surrounded by palms, fruit orchards and paddy fields.

Our nursery in Bangkok is much smaller and, as far as aquatic plants are concerned, we regard it as our "ICU". The very young and weak off-spring of the waterlilies is taken here to be grown in containers until they are strong enough to be planted back in our ponds.

Other plants are also treated at our nursery in Bangkok for export. For a closer look on how we handle other plants, please have a look at Shipments.

Since this page contains many photos, it would load too slow if we post all the photos in full size. Therefore, please click on the thumbnail pictures below to view the full size photo, which will open in a new browser window.

Overall view of our ponds (picture PondView00 was taken about five years ago, the other two photos show how everything looks now):

Two different views of the Nymphaea Firecrest pond:

The Fabiola, Masaniello/Sulphurea and Pygmaea Rubra Ponds:

When we run out of space in our ponds, irrigation ditches of the fruit orchards have to help out. Currently we are growing Nymphaea Tetragona in some of the ditches. In the second photo you can see some of the Typha Latifolia Variegata and the third photo shows our "ICU" located in Bangkok:

Now a few close-up photos of our aquatic plants: The first three photos show Nymphaea Attraction, Nymphaea Firecrest and Nymphaea Fabiola.

More Waterlilies; the first two photos are of Nymphaea Joey Tomocik and the third one is of Nymphaea Red Spider.

And finally, two photos each of our Thalia Delbata and Hemerocallis lilies:
