Slocum dedicated his most successfull lotus variety to his first wife (he was married three times very happily became over 90 years old - the lotuses of his two later wifes are `Maggie Belle Slocum` and `Louise Slocum`) . It is a variety with double flowers and its colours are more or less the same as of the famous rose `Peace` (yellow, apricot and pink). The very special thing about this lotus is the dramatic change of colours of each flower from day to day. Allthough it is a large plant (up to 1.5 meters) it is well suited for keeping it in medium sized tubs. A larger tub will of course proof even better results. It is one of the best lotus varieties ever and proofed very suitable to our climate in southern Bavaria.
