Here are Zac’s comments…”This was one of Tim Davis’s first named hybrids, it was a seedling of Nymphaea micrantha. It is a viviparous waterlily multiplying by leaf growth into new plants. This is on display at the International Waterlily Collection. Tim said “I should have removed some old growth before the video but you can see its a pretty lavender tropical waterlily”. Named for Tim’s wife Debbie. Tim was wise naming a waterlily after her because he can now get away with more time with the waterlilies and spending time at the International Waterlily Collection with his bud Ken Landon.”
