Lots of pads.  :D  What type is it?  I like the hint of pink.

I believe they are the "peaches & cream" that I got from Texas water lilies last year, however I just looked them up and the description says green leaves with light reddish spotted freckles, these leaves are solid green. So, that being said, I guess I will have to do some research as to what they are!

Beautiful blooms but they don't look like Peaches & Cream.

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

Sorry, but don't have a clue on what it might be.  I looked at TWL & they don't show a bloom similiar to it.  P & C is a light yellow with a pinkish base, speckled pads.

I found it, some years ago I purchased my first lilies from a local plant/fish store here called "Van ness water gardens". One of the lily's that I ordered was called "Uber blush". Here is a link:

Lucky you!  Beautiful blooms and healthy looking pads. 

We're finally getting some heat here and in just 2 days, what a difference!  Everything's popping!

I didn't realize how much I missed this place over the winter. I LOVE seeing pond, plant and fish photos! Keep them coming.
