Nymphaea ‘Kishin’

Nymphaea ‘Kishin’

Nymphaea ‘Kishin’ is a tropical lily created by Garet Uemura.
The following is Garet’s description…

Hybridized in 2004 by crossing two unnamed lilies.  This lily has very double flowers that are pastel lavender on the outside with creamy white-lavender interior petaloids.  Unlike Kelly Mashiba, the petals on this lily are very long and slender.  The leaves are solid green on the top with purple below.
In Japanese, Kishin means “Joyful Heart” and is the “Kaimyo”  (Buddhist name) of my grandfather.
