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. |

| This hybrid is what's commonly referred to as a changeable. On opening, blooms are pinkish orange deepening to a reddish orange by the third day. I consider this variety to be a great improvement on many of the old changeables. Blooms are much larger and have a higher petal count. Plants have a good compact habit ideally suited to a limited space. Free flowering but it does require plenty of sun. | ||||||
