Mexicana is something of a shy bloomer, I've tried it on a lined pond and seen only one bloom on it all Summer, whilst making a couple of offsets on runners.

Perhaps if it was pushed with fertiliser it may do better, however I prefer lilyponds with stable water quality. On the same pond were Indiana, Rose Arey, Joanne Pring, Dauben ...all steadily plunking blooms up.

Chromatella by contrast is a very reliable bloomer, Mexicana might well be a dissapointment by comparison
