This is is a cross between N Golden West and N Moonbeam. Our summer was rather cold and wet this year and consequently this plant along with lots of others went dormant. I managed to harvest a tuber from it and hopefully will have another plant next summer. the color of the plant is true, its a really nice pale blue with shades of very light yellow at the base of the petals. Pads are a nice solid green.

Thanks everyone, I do like this plant. lets cross fingers that it will survive. lots of nice plants are lost by a lot of people.

Sean, it holds up very well in the hot sun. it was in one of my raised tanks that gets really hot water 85-90 all summer, except when it constantly rains as it has been.

thanks for looking.

Two thumbs up my friend! I really like this one, does it tuber and propagate well?

Lovely lily Lou and also a great reminder that for any and all out there considering naming/registering a new hybrid, now is a good time to do it. WGI is soon to publish a new registry and as perhaps the hardest part of registering a lily is getting the name published. This will more than do that.

If not....a possible scenario. I come up with a pink lily I like and take a fancy to the name 'Rasberry Sorbet', if I am the first to publish the name with a description, my lily becomes RS and Louis is left looking for a new name.<g>

And web publication does not count, has to be a dated, printed publication. Should anyone wonder, I don't make the rules, they are the work of an international council on cultivar names.

Back to my application forms.<g>
