New plant
I was given an enormous pond plant, and no one seems to know what it is. It
has lily pads that are about 16 inches across, and stand on stems that are about 3 feet out of the water. My friends says her flowers a beatiful flower that lasts several days. Any suggestions on where I look to find out about this plant? I have already been searching on many plant/pond web sites. Thanks, Cindy |

If the lily pads have teeth underneath the edges, it sounds like a
victoria cruziana lily. |

They are also night bloomers and close during the day. http://www.botany.com/victoria.html I think Ka30P is correct with lotus. Check this link. http://grail.cs.washington.edu/proje...ts/lotus_m.jpg HTH -_- how no NEWS is good |
