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. |

Brilliance of Kirk Strawn
 Nymphaea'Charlene Strawn' 1981 The flower shape of this hybrid is unique among Kirk's yellows. Flowers open extremely wide, almost flat, and are set off beautifully by very long golden stamens. At the height of summer flowers are held high above the foliage. Young plants can be a little slow to flower, but once established they are reliably free flowering. A mature plant in high summer > |
