Question for Marilyn re: Beldt's/Pring dwarf pink Nymphea ????

[karen J]

It was many years ago that Marilyn sent this to me, and I can't remember if you did call it "Beldt's Dwarf Pink"?
 
The new pads are very bronze and splotched, and as they mature they hold their color well, becoming a dark green with bronze splotches.

Whatever it is, it's one of my favorite lilies.




P.S. Forgot to mention- this is always the very first lily to bloom in the spring. This year, I thought Mayla was going to beat it, but nope. It bloomed first.

I love it.

What a darling lily!

My Joann Pring does not have markings on the pads. They come out solid burgundy and mature to solid green. I believe Marilyn sent it to me. It was the first to bloom this year for me.

Looks pretty darned close to  Joann Pring to me.

I'm the last person to help identify -- but it looks like my Joane Pring.

I'm wrong, my Joann Pring DOES have markings on the pads. I was thinking of Perry's Baby Red. OOPS.

Well I just don't know, according to Slocum & Robinson, Joann Pring has greener pads of a lighter hue. And her flowers seem lighter. It's hard to tell from Slocum's pictures, though, because he was quite a professional photographer. His pictures would be taken at just the right moment, at just the right angle, with the right filter...

LeeAnne, Are your pads a dark, dark olive green?
