(Perry`s Hardy Plant Farm 1935) There is some misunderstanding with this variety. Some say it is identic to the variety `Helen Fowler` by Walter B. Shaw. That would make it a variety from the early 20th century. The differences between both varieties are very small, but they do exist. Latour-Marliac ...
(Kirk Strawn 1993) Let`s start with what is undisputed: this waterlily has very nice leaves. Such colours and patterns are rarely to be found among hardy waterlilies. The flowers however are subject of a lot of disputes. They are very narrow and allways more or less crinkled. It was the intention ...
(Ambassador Water Gardens) This was one of our first waterlilies. Unfortunately it is rarely available since it is often mixed up with `Rosanna Supreme`. Its flowers are light pink with a somewhat darker centre. The shape of the flower is a slightly double star. It is an odorata-hybrid that has to form ...
(Fowler 1913) The star-shaped flower is mid to deep pink, the leaves are green on top and brown on bottom side. It is suitable as cut flowers and has a very pleasant fragrance. It will bloom well if it is allowed to form a small colony.
(Junge 1911) The star-shaped flowers are pink on the first day and gradualy change to almost pure white on the last day. It is one of the few waterlilies that will produce at least a few flowers in half shade.
(J.B. Latour-Marliac 1908) Among the changeable waterlilies this one is the most resistant to crown rot. Nethertheless most stocks in Europe are infected and it can be hard to get a health plant. The flowers start apricot-yellow and change later to orange. Extremly floriferous and suitable for small ...
This one was created by Kirk Strawn in 1997. It was always a rare variety and it becomes now really hard to find nurseries that still grow it. Propably is appears as `just another pink waterlily´ to the first glimpse. That who takes time to observe it for longer will soon find out that it is an...
(Kirk Strawn 1997) When we saw the first flowers of this waterlily in 2003 we were enthusiastic right away. The flowers are huge, the shape is that of a doubled star and the colour is a mix of yellow, apricot and soft pink. The colour changes from day to day and ist almost pure yellow on the ...
This new waterlily was created by Chansilpa in 2007. When presented to the public in 2010 it caused a furore. It was awarded `Best new waterlily of 2010` and everybody wanted to have one - quite impossible, there was just a handfull plants at that time. There is no similar variety. The colour of the flower is a mx of magenta, red and orange, the petals are heavily marked with white streak ...
(Dreer 1899) This variety has cupshaped flowers in deep red, the anthers are fiery orange. Leaves are green on top and purple on the bottom side. It is a very floriferous variety in cooler conditions, during the hotest days in summer it produces less flowers.
(P.D. Slocum 1990) This variety received its name from the visitors at Perrys Water Gardens. Who ever saw it for the first time said `Wow!`. The colour is obviously what impresses most in this waterlily. It is a shade of purple that is hardly to be found outside the Vatican. The flowers are quite ...
(P.D. Slocum 1991) Im Jahr 1991 brachte Slocum drei sehr ähnliche gelbe Seerosen auf den Markt. Dies ist die zweite aus dieser Serie. In der Blütenfarbe gleicht sie sehr Yellow Princess, aber ihre Blütenform ...
Despite the name sounds like China, this one is a true Texan created by Kirk Strawn. When first planted in the pond it pretends to be nothing special. Colour and shape of the flower seem quite ordinary, a saucer-shaped waterlily in pink. Let it grow for one or two years and you...
