This was recently hybidized in Thailand i believe and it is a wacko water lily.I stole 3 left over pots from my competitor(at a box store for cheap) last year and know have 300 from meticulous propagation.The leaves are schizoid too.Eaaasy to grow.  |

It was 3 mature specimens with about 300 tiny propagatable eyes that i planted with the help of magnification Scott.I start lilies that way in a lot of situations.The leaves and the stalks do the same thing.

It's in the mail, uhh... that pix was a cellphone snapshot taken in incandescent lighting while the glass was still hot. The color is redder and darker than you are seeing there once cooled... hope you still like it:).
