Default What is this Water Lilly species???

Robert,

Lily identification depends on a lot of variables. First of all, whether
it is Tropical or a Hard Lily. The another important identification feature
is tuber. The other id feature is leaf color and shape. Then comes the
flower. The other thing that you have to remember is that not all computer
monitors are created equal and color is not necessarily the same on mine as
it is yours. There are a number of people on this list who are good at lily
id, so hopefully, they can assist you. Goldfish are my prime interest and
my lilies offer only surface color and variety and I keep only hardys. Good
luck at figuring it out.

Personally, I would suspect that the lily is a tropical, because there are
very few blue hardy lilies, at least one with this intense blue as your
picture suggests.

Sorry that I can be of more help.

Hello all!!

I am in need of identification of a picture of a Water Lilly i have
found.

I downloaded the new Webshots Screensaver, and one of the sample
pictures was a file called Electric Water Lilly.

I have spent days trying to find this plant on the 'net, but alas
cannot find this species anywhere .....

Take a look at it, please tell me it isn't a Photoshopped picture,
because that will really dissapoint me.

Many thanks in advance for your help, oh, and sorry if this post is in
the wrong section, i am a total novice when it comes to plants.

Robert.
