This is a cross of Nymphaea mexicana and Nymphaea odorata, and that kind of cross appears almost everywhere where these two species grow together. So they do in Lake Okeechobee in Florida. Walter Pagels and Paul Stetson found the plant there when they were looking for interesting crosses in 1999. They gave it...
(Joseph B.L. Marliac 1910) There are only two red waterlilies with long narrow petals that come in extreme star-shape: `Perry`s Red Beauty` and `Newton`. As an extra `Newton` holds its flowers high above the watersurface and so the flower looks on its first day very much like a tropical lily. Very ...
(P.D. Slocum 1990) This waterlily shines in pure white. Its flowers are a double star. It is floriferous and has an unsual long flowering season. Slocum considers it as one of the best white waterlilies ever. Suitable for ponds of all sizes and even for tubs.
Diese arme Seerose wurde von ihrem Züchter verstoßen! Perry D. Slocum gab ihr zwar noch einen Namen, aber dann verschwand sie aus dem Sortiment seiner Gärtnerei. Einen Grund dafür können wir uns nicht denken, denn es ist eine ausgesprochen ...
(P.D.Slocum 1990) There is some discussion what concerns this variety. Slocum claims it to be a cross of a tropical and a hardy waterlily - others say such a cross was impossible. No matter what its origin is, it is a truly hardy waterlily with double, star-shaped flowers in pure white. It also bears ...
As far as we this is the only waterlily of Austrian origin. It was created in 1922 by Mr. Buggele who worked for the park and gardens department of Linz. It was planted in a pond at Pöstlingberg, a quarter of Linz. From there it spread to the whole world. Untill recently it had...
(Marliac 1914) The star-shaped flower of this waterlily is pink, towards the brim the colour pales. All petals are flecked. The leaves are green on both sides. It is a floriferous variety, suitable for medium to large ponds. Latour-Marliac sells it now as `La Beaugère`.
The origin of this variety is unknown. Probably it was created in the US in the 1920ies. In its appearance and demands it is very close to the native American waterlilies. Its flowers are medium sized (10-15 cms) and light rose. They really look a bit like a magnolia. This variety is suitable for medium ...
(Harry Johnson 1932) An almost bicoloured variety. Outer petals are pale pink while the inner petals have the colour of strawberry ice-cream. The flower is star-shaped. It is suitable for medium sized ponds and it is very floriferous.
(Latour-Marliac 1913) Two times Marliac gave names to waterlilies, that became almost onehundred years later popular by the Harry Potter novels (the other one is `Hermine` - it works only in German, for in the German translation Hermione Granger became Hermine Granger). It`s a charming coicidence and ...
(Joseph B.L. Marliac 1909) A variety with slightly changing colour. The first day it is white with deep pink centre, the last day it is pale pink with bright red centre. It is a unique colour pattern in hardy waterlilies. Floriferous and suitable for medium to large ponds.
(Gärtnerei Latour-Marliac) The flowers of this waterlily do change remarkable, but the colour always remain a clear red. The flowers open cup-shaped and fade as a wide opened star. The centre of the flower is in the beginning a dark red-pink, later it turns to red. Outer petals are pale pink in ...
Once again a waterlily with a lot of confusion around it. Marliac introduced in 1888 a waterlily called `Odorata Sulphurea Grandiflora`. Perry Slocum claimed in his standard work on waterlilies that this Marliac-hybrid was renamed `Sunrise` by an American nursery in the 1930ies. Yet it seems they are ...
(Kenneth Landon 1985) The best yellow waterlily since Marliacs `Chromatella` of 1887! The colour is an intensive yellow, outer petals do have a slight pink hint in it. The flowers are star-shaped and smell of lemon - most suitable to the colour but please don`t ask how Landon managed THAT. It is ...
(Boivin) A variety of disputable origin. Probably it is just a selection of Nymphaea tuberosa. Its peony-shaped flowers are white and double, the anthers shining yellow. Leaves are on both sides green. It is fairly floriferous and one of the most beautiful white waterlilies, but suitable only for very ...
(Joseph B.L.Marliac 1910) This waterlily has - if you couldn`t have guessed - flowers in virginal white. They are cup-shaped and slightly double. Very floriferous and suitable for ponds of all sizes. One of the most reliable white waterlilies.
(Strawn 1991) As one can guess from the name this one is an offspring of `Sultan`. It was created by a mutation. Mutations are nothing bad, they happen quite often with plants. In this case the mutation caused a lack of the pigment of the flower and the result is a shining white flower. It is slightly ...
