of glowing rose. Medium grower. Seldom cultivated in recent years. N. Punctata —Small, rose-lilac, flecked carmine. Requires shallow
water.
N. pygmaea —In the pure species form, a small white
flower with a heavy cluster of yellow stamens. Blooms, which measure
only one-and-a-half to 2 inches across, have a delightful tea scent.
The plant is slightly larger and hardier than N. tetragona, although
many botanists consider the two species the same. In a strict botanical
sense, they are. One of the best for tubs and small ponds.alba —Although this hybrid is a cross between N. pygmaea and N.
alba, there is no difference to be seen between its blooms and foliage
and that of the true N. pygmaea species.helvola—Marliac. HYPERION -A new red pygmy, of increasing popularity
in England, somewhat larger than the usual run of pygmaea varieties.
Free flowering, and fine for tubs. rubis-Marliac.
A nicely formed miniature, carmine streaked white. rubra-Slightly larger than most pygmaea forms, rose colored changing to rich garnet-red. RADIANCE- Iridescent, shell-pink flowers often 7 to 8 inches in diameter.
Petals pointed and incurved. Fragrant. RENE GERARD-Marliac.
Large and free growing with rich rose-colored blooms flecked and streaked
crimson. Star-shaped, and held erect. N. Robinsonii-Marliac.
An old-time favorite. Floating blooms are a glorious orange-red, usually
4 to 5 inches in diameter, with vivid orange red stamens. Green foliage
is spotted maroon. Grown by many for its beauty of form. Broad petals
are rolled near the tip. ROSE AREY- Huge, rose-pink with pointed petals curling at ends. Profusion
of yellow stamens giving a heart of molten gold. Rich, fruity fragrance,
probably the most sweetly scented of all hardies. Dependable strong
grower. Foliage is green with a reddish cast. ROSE MAGNOLIA-American variety with flesh-pink blooms held well above
the water. Medium grower. ROSITA-Marliac. Small, purple-pink, star-shaped
flowers. Medium sized when it thrives, but very difficult to grow. N. sanguinea-Marliac.
A friend describes this as "a true lady of great beauty."
Huge red blooms, streaked white, with a handsome cluster of orange-red
stamens. Foliage olive-green, blotched brown. Small grower. N. Seignouretii-Marliac .
Small bloom with sulfur-yellow petals, buff-colored at base. Flower
stands well above the water. Gorgeous color combination, but the variety
propagates so slowly and grows so poorly that few dealers stock it. SIOUX-Marliac .
Another Changeable, and a good one. Rich chrome-yellow on opening, with
inner petals suffused bronze. Passes to deep orange, and then to copper-red.
Blooms are held erect. Foliage mottled brown and purple. Small grower. Continue to Hardy Water-LiliesNine |
