How I tell .. The full bloom is creamy colored with
pinkish color around the sides of the bloom. It is so
easily identified. Usually, the aroma guides me right to
it...'course mine aren't out in the middle of my pond either.
lol MPDS changes color every day. Looks like you have
a day two or three. First day it opens, it is a lovely pink.

Nedra it is good to be back. Camping was wonderful. So tell me...how do
you
identify what type I have? As far as Aroma...the bloom is too far away
from
the edge for me to get a sniff.
