They do have a site, but I don't have their link. Sorry.  Might try experimenting by typing it in
several different ways, might hit on right one!!

When I was in San Angelo last October, I got to see "Blue Cloud"  It is a beautiful lily.  Here is the "scoop" if you are interested.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

Blue Cloud is not available anywhere for sale.
We had one at Nelson's at the off-site greenhouse before shipping to Duke for the waterlily competition.
No one would have seen that though because it was at the production facility.
Blue Cloud has more petals, wider petals, is larger and is more cold hardy than a regular gigantea.
It has come back in the pools in San Angelo the last 3 years and that is with multiple days in the teens each year.

That is Blue Gigantia at Trickers, not the Blue Cloud hybrid, I think.  Still a very pretty lily.

Hey Marie,

Sorry, just heard about your query.
I really don't think Blue Cloud will hit the market within the next 5 years at least.
We have a grower who is chomping at the bit for it but I caused a shortage last year.
Since we had people coming from all over the world for the IWGS symposium, we pulled out all the stops.
We had 3 full size plants growing last year. They covered a space of about 25' x 15'.
That is how I got the great shot with multiple blooms fading in the distance that is my avatar on IWC for Facebook...http://www.facebook.com/pages/International-Waterlily-Collection/98465558398

Once they get that big, they are really fleshy and they do not form tubers.
This plus pulling one for the competition, depleted his cache for a while.
We are actually growing some now just for tubering purposes, the only problem is that it is really tough and does not like to go to sleep kind of like a little kid at bedtime.
