Description
I was visiting the Chicago Botanica Garden when I came across the beautiful waterlilies. I saw that they are visually spectacular, with a remarkable sweet scent. and was told that they open at the crack of dawn till late in the afternoon. They are a free-flowering, tropical water lily that features violet, open star-shaped flowers (to 7-10 diameter) with yellow centers. Flowers bloom continuously from summer into fall. Each flower appears on a stalk above the water surface, opening in the morning and closing at night, and blooms for about 3-4 days. the lily pads of this flower float on the water surface. Plants will spread to 5-8" wide. I hope you have enjoyed this work. You can see more of my work on my homepage. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
