N. Bull's Eye is a tropical waterlily created by Florida Aquatic Nurseries. It has burgundy petals and green pads. It's date of origin is 2007. It's parentage is listed as N. King of Blues x unnamed hybrid.
This is the description from Florida Aquatic Nurseries... The flower color is the real eye-catcher on this lily. The red color is deeper or more of a true red than any lily on the market today. This flower will catch your eye from quite a distance away. Set on a vigorus, compact plant with solid green pads we expect this lily will be well received.
The closest comparison with N. 'Bulls Eye' would be N. 'Jack Wood' however the flower color of N. 'Bulls Eye' is much darker than N. 'Jack Wood' and the flower has many more petals, up to 50 when mature.
The majority of the shots of this fantastic waterlily were taken last month at the IWC. We want to send a big "Thank You" to the McLane family for allowing us to showcase this wonderful new hybrid. |
