lily stand

I would like to raise two of my lilies about 18 inches from the bottom of my pond. Do you know of a plant stand for this purpose? The plants are in 16 inch pots. I have come across such a stand, but it sells for $40 or more. Do you know of a less expensive way to do this? Thanks.

Doug says to use cement blocks or small paving stones to prop up your pots to the level you need.
