Comanche | ||||||||
If you?ve ever dreamed of finding a rainbow lily, Comanche is it! This prolific Marliac hybrid appears to be apricot colored when it first opens; the next day, it?s a coppery red with canary yellow outer petals. Add to the persimmon stamens and leaves which change from plum to chocolate speckled green and you?ve found that rainbow. Adaptable to any size planting containers, Comanche will adjust to semi-shade, too.

Sioux | ||||||||
During the blooming season, the blossoms miraculously change a warm chrome yellow color to a deep orange then to a copper red. Set off by foliage of a rich bronze green stained with dark brown on the upper surface and reddish brown on the underside, the warm colored blossoms stand rigidly tall. This hardy hybrid grows well in small and medium ponds.

||||||||
Paul Hariot | ||||||||
Another changeling, Paul Hariot opens as a canary blossom, gradually becoming a scarlet gem as it matures. Crimson spotted emerald green leaves serve as a backdrop for the cup shaped flowers, which rise high above the water?s surface. The fragrant blooms are excellent for indoor arrangements. Paul Hariot can be planted in semi-shaded areas.

||||||||
Lucidia | ||||||||
Lucidia dates back to the late 1800's and was one of the more popular lilies in France. The color of this lily reflects the fall southern French countryside. The color starts yellow and picks up a little more red each day of blooming. Very free blooming with blooms in the 4 to 6 inch range. Lucidia is a strong healthy lily that is long over due for a return to popularity. It is important to have the proper fertilizer for good color performance on the lily.
|
||||||||
Robinsoni | ||||||||
Developed a century ago by the French hybridizer Marliac, the crimson-vermilion blossoms with orange-yellow centers are a salute to an era gone by. Robinsoni flourishes in shallow water and is best suited for medium sized ponds.

Amanda Uber | ||||||||
The deepest green pads form the backdrop for our newest star, Amanda Uber, to steal the scene. This ing?nue first bursts into the limelight with the resplendent colors of the sunrise . . . the pale pink and golden amber of a new day dawning. As rapidly as the sun warms the morn, the colors begin to deepen, almost imperceptibly. Settling into her role Amanda?s enormous flowers open even wider to showcase long slender petals turning a rubescent scarlet at their base. Each day?s performance reveals more nuances of color as Amanda upstages all other pond players with showy flowers of vivid vermilion at the center radiating to a soft coral at the outer edges. The final curtain falls on a fiery crimson flower in full glory. Meanwhile, an understudy rises to unfurl the shades of the dawn upon a new day. The show goes on.
