Hey I was wondering if there was any way to rig up some LED's behind a pond my and my cousin built in his yard. I was thinking about putting just a few behind the rocks and some behind the rocks in the water to give it a little glow at night.

Or

Are there any plastic lilypad with lights on teh bottom?

actually.. there are. I know that Lowes sells a clear plastic flying saucer like float that incorporates a solar cell and leds.. I had one in my pool in my old place.. it did a lot for keeping it lit most of the night.

you can make normal strings of 3 LEDs. Instead of just shrink wrapping to make them weather resistant, you'll need to dip them in "liquid electrical tape". You can get it at walmart. The stuff paints on, or can be dipped. Get some, it's what you need. My uncle uses a 12V AC Power Supply from malabu lamps (walmart).
