Helvola --a dainty yellow
« on: July 02, 2011, 05:15:39 PM »
Helvola always puts out a spectacular bloom display & the pads are nicely patterned, too.  Even tolerates partial shade.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

I love this lilly.. I got mine this year and its already bloomed several times.  I cant wait for it to mature.  I think everyone should have one in a mini pond :)
Yours is stunning... how many plants is that in your container?

Wow, I've never had one even half that size. Raccoons seem to love Helvola. I think they've destroyed or eaten six....got a new division now, hope it can mature. Joann Pring finally has and is a wonderful little mini bloom machine.

Thanks.  Have no idea how many crowns are in the clump but I'm sure it is around 10 or more.  Joanne Pring is another beautiful mini.  Wish some of the minis James Knock has hybridized would make there way to the USA.

Oh good! Nobody has said it yet! I want to be the first this time.  :)

That's a "Helvola" nice waterlily, Kat!  ;D

Promise I won't do that again for a while. But I will put that variety on my "wish list."

Helvola is my only miniature hardy lily. I got it this year too in a trade and it has already put out a number of blooms as well. So awesome. So sounds like if I ever get another mini I might try a Joanne Pring if its a good bloomer. 
My next female cat will be called "Whata Lily"!
