Hardy Water Lily ‘Texas Dawn’
Nymphaea cv.
(NIM-fee-uh)
Little did I know that this flower is actually the Official
State Waterlily of Texas. I can see why they picked it. The color is unusually
bright and warm. It blooms a lot too.
Texan Kenneth Landon developed this unique cultivar by in
1985. He almost single handily started the International Water lily Collection
in San Angelo, Texas.
I took this picture last summer at the pond between the
glass houses at the NYBG.
