Default Nymphaea lotus low temperature

Charles wrote in message . ..
One book says the N. 'Juno' is considered to be N. lotus, and that N.
'Trudy Slocum' is a selection of 'Juno.'

I am getting a bit less sure of the identification as I look more, I
am sure it is a Nymphaea, but it could be N. maculata. Maybe when/if
it blooms I can get a better idea.


In north carolina, supposedly zone 8 every tropical water lily left
out has been dead and gone when the water temperatures get to lower
than 50°f. Pond water temperatures dont get lower than 40°f but by
then the tropicals have long gone...
