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

1. Avalanche
2. Caliente maybe... if so it is a juvenile flower.
3. Albert Greenberg... though it is kind of light so it might also be Barbara Barnette but my guess is Albert.
4. Is that a pink or a white??
5. Most hardies are too similiar for my knowledge to guess well Gonnere maybe
6. Most hardies are too similiar for my knowledge to guess well
7. Most hardies are too similiar for my knowledge to guess well
8. Perry's Vivip Pink???
9. Purple Nangkwag aka Fah and Red Nangkwag...
10. Looks like Green Smoke or Moon Beam or Paul Stetson... hard to tell with the color variation but if pressed I would say Smoke based on pads in background.
11. Yellow Dazzler

Great job  but I will let some other folks try to guess the hardies.  #4 is actually pale yellow & it is the first bloom of the season of a new lily for me.  Anxiously awaiting the lilies I bought from you to reestablish & to start blooming  :)

I used to know the 5 that I have but have long since lost track. So for me they are light lavendar, white, etc, etc. Sorry. Kat those pictures are so beautiful.

Which ones did I get right so we can eliminate those in our sleuthing?
Based on that comment I guess Perry's Vivip is incorrect as well. Doesn't look bright enough to be Mayla unless it is one of the first few buds.

Woops, #4 is actually a light peach color, not yellow.

Tim--3 (second guess), 4 (think of a direction), 5 (Perry hybrid), 6 (Strawn hybrid), 7 (dainty!), 8 (Perry hybrid)  :)

Okay, everone has had a chance by now, so I will go for it on the hardies...

I won't say the first one (#5), because I have an unfair advantage on that one ;)   {:-P;;

#6- Berit Strawn

#7- Lucida..... (or maybe Joanne Pring?)

#8- Perry's Orange Sunset??  I'm not sure about that one, as I think the color on my P. Orange Sunset is a little different in my climate than in yours  8)
