Hybridized By	1863 by Dr. Charles Daubeny, (1795-1867), Professor of Botany. This is a German hybrid.
History	It was introduced to the U.S. by William Tricker in 1912. In his 1920 catalog, William Tricker noted that he counted 56 flowers on one specimen. Quoted by noted hybridizer and one of the originators of William Tricker, Inc. Albert Buskirk of Independence, Ohio that this plant produces more flowers than any other variety of water lilies as it blooms almost constantly from Spring to Fall!
Awards	The water lily was awarded the Silver Medal at the Newport Horticultural Society in September of 1912.

The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.

For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
