Provenance of
N. 'Azure Dawn' (Knotts & Sacher, 1998)

Kit Knotts photo: We found this lily in a ditch not far from our home in central Florida. It had escaped from a cemetary pond and we attempted to trace its origin. Unable to do so but certain it was not a cultivar already named, we and Rich Sacher named it in 1998.

Fernando Santos photo: Received from Kit & Ben Knotts.
