VV HILE our entire stock 
of hardy red water lilies is 
represented by less than a 
dozen separate species 
(still a large collection for 
this color) each of the 
species listed on this page 
has some distinct feature 
or coloring that sets it apart 
from all others. So there 
are as many variations 
possible with this color 
group as with any of our 
others, including pink. This 
year’s stock has all the old 
favorites and a few new 
varieties. For lower than vie
