Nymphaea Anne Emmet, day bloom tropical waterlily

Bi Colour, as predominantly having two colours to the petals Recently Anne Emmett seemed to catch my eye more than others, largely because it is so tricky to photograph, its growing habit unstable in a volatile climate... Blue violet, and yellow tones, sometimes pale, sometimes vivid with the best tones during prolonged steady coolish weather It might tuber well one year, then flower well another without setting tubers A hot Summer may knock it about to extreme All in all, quite the masochists choice, fairly typical for tropical waterlilies, lol It's a good job such quirky gems are readily found at a modest price among special interest collectors listing on ebay Regards, andy | http://www.flickr.com/photos/21940871@N06/ | http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/adavisus/
