I really wanted to share this because I honestly love the color and balance of contrast. If anyone knows how to grow this water lily, I would love to know to have one this coming summer. 🙂
There is a reason I go on canoe trips. Every single dot of white in the picture was an open lily flower. The yellow ones in the foreground were a week or two away from being open. Such a beautiful flower.
So I suggest grabbing a rhizome and not starting them from seed. I don’t know your location, but it has to be a certain temperature for a certain time for these babies to bloom. You will want a large container/bowl. Clay or loam soil. An air stone. And ph water strip as well as aquatic plant fertilizer. 6 hours of direct sunlight. Shade if it gets 90°+ but that’s debated
