(Kirk Strawn 1997) The colour of this waterlily is hard to describe. Obviously it is a yellow variety, but it also shows hints of creme and apricot. The frangrance of the flowers is delightfull, and the flowers are hold high above water surface. It is extremly floriferous.
A small version of the North American Fragrant Waterlily. In the course of eleminating many formerly valid subvarieties in the genus Nymphaea, also this one became a victim of this botanic clear cut. Today it is regarded as simple Nymphaea odorata - and yet it is remarkably smaller than that.
(Perry D. Slocum 1994) In the 80ies and 90ies of the 20th century Perry D. Slocum and Kirk Strawn grimly competed in hybridizing new waterlilies. Both introduced a lot of new varieties and they tried to outplay or at least copy the new varieties of the competitor. One of the hard-fought goals ...
(Perry D. Slocum 1985) The flowers of this waterlily are extremly star-shaped. It appeared as a chance-seedling in the nursery of Perry D. Slocum and was spotted by another visiting watergardener. The colour of the flowers is delicate pink. The flowers are held high above the water and they smell delightful. ...
(Latour-Marliac 1895) To create this variety Marliac crossed two extremes: bone-hardy Nymphaea alba var. rubra from Sweden and semi-hardy Nymphaea mexicana from the southern states of the USA. The result is a small red waterlily with upright rhizome, very robust and completely hardy.
(Duff 1998) This waterlily is usual listed as `orange`. It is a beauty, without question, but orange? Probably it needs the eye of the hybridizer to spot this colour. Perhaps it is a question of the European clima for this variety originated in the USA (hybridized in 1998 by Duff - no, not Duff ...
(Epple 1970) A variety from Baden-Württemberg. The flower is cup-shaped and slightly double, the colour is a delicate pink. Floriferous and suitable for medium and large ponds.
(Perry Slocum 1988) A waterlily with very large, very double flowers in shell-pink. The flowers are very fragrant. It is suitable for medium and large ponds. Since it is a odorata-hybrid it needs space to form a colony before it starts to perform best.
(J.B. Marliac 1901) This old variety by Marliac is more popular in the US than it is in Europe. Its name translates `Rainbow` since its leaves are multicoloured, while the flower is simply white. Exactly this might be the problem: in Europe the flower is all the world and nobody cares for the leaves. ...
Several waterlilies are sold by this name and they have quite different characteristics. We are pretty sure to have the true `Atropurpurea` in our collection. It was created by Latour-Marliac in 1901, and it remained always rare in cultivation. The reason is probably that in the past most ...
This is one of the first creations by Kirk Strawn. It is from 1986 and hardly ever available. Outside the USA we found not aquatic nursery that keeps it. Quite understandable, for it one of the smallest among the medium sized varieties. `Small` concerning its rhizomes, not its...
(Strawn 1996) A hybrid by Kirk Strawn. Its colour is sort of a very pale yellow with a mix of pink and apricot towards the centre of the flower. The flower appears almost double and is ball-shaped like a peonly. It is a very floriferous variety that prefers warmer water. Suitable for medium to large ...
A breed bei Kirk Strawn from 1996. Its colour is a bright fuchsia that turns towards red when temperatures rise in summer. The flower is cup-shaped in the beginning and opens zu a star-shape later. The foliage changes its colour from green to plum-colour. If this variety is well fed, it can grow quite large.
(Perry D. Slocum 1995) Of all the `black` waterlilies Perry D. Slocum created, this is the one with the darkest red (all `black` waterlilies are dark red). In Central Europe it should be kept in shallow water, also because of aesthetic reasons. Its colour is wonderfull and special, but on the foil of ...
(Strawn 1993) A deep red waterlily from the USA. From the outside to the centre the colour of the flower increases and gets darker. The flowers are cup-shaped, it is very florferous and suitable for ponds of all sizes. I regard it to be the one with best effect on far view among the deep red varieties.
(J.B. Marliac 1893) This is a really old variety and in 2003 we took the last chance to receive it from the collection of Perry D. Slocum. Soon afterwards he dropped it from his stock. He regarded it as dispensable because of newer hybrids. A pity, for it got a special charme with its ivory-white flowers ...
(Joseph B.L. Marliac 1893) This was one of the first pink waterlilies in the trade. Today there exist more floriferous varieties, but only this one comes with such a delicate salmon pink and a lovely sweet fragrance. It suitable for medium and large ponds. It takes some years to form a colony before ...
(Kirk Strawn) A waterlily with very shining pink, star-shaped and semi-double. It looks like a smaller version of `Mayla`. The flowers remain longer open in the afternoon than those of most other lilies. Suitable for medium sized pools.
