I've just come back from being with Spouse for a hospital out-patient
appointment. we were a bit early so I picked up an RHS Garden magazine
in the waiting room (RHS = Royal Horticultural Society).

There was a picture of a pinkish water lily which was captioned as being
the first true blue water lily. Hah! I wish I'd had more details so that
I could have sent your picture in but we were called at that point :-(

I think that was said to be the first Frost Hardy blue water lily.


I bow to your greater knowledge, I'm not a member and Spouse was called
before I could commit details to memory.

But it was nowhere near blue!

I bit like Orchid Pink then. :-)
