James Knock, who lives in the United Kingdom, has been a dedicated collector of Strawn waterlily cultivars for many years and is an expert in their identification and cultivation. Most cultivars were obtained directly from Strawn Water Gardens in the years 1994 through 1998.

In these galleries, James takes us through seasonal and age related changes in coloration of many Strawn cultivars. High summer in England, sometimes only two to three weeks long, provides the most dramatic colors of all, often not seen in other climates. None of the images have been color enhanced or color adjusted.

Nymphaea 'Denver' 1997

A lovely double flowered hybrid with subtle primrose yellow flowers. Blooms of young plants often appear almost white, but as plants mature the yellow comes through. At the height of summer they stand well above the foliage. Free flowering late into the season. One of very few small growing yellow hardy lilies.
