Water lilies often flower as small plants in pots because of the restriction. When placed in a pond there is more root-run and the plants grow more quickly, often failing to flower for a while, but flowering again after a time.

This is exacerbated by having a lot of fish in the pond as they increase the levels of nutrients.
