Hollyhill Leda

Back
Leda is new for 2010.  It is a seedling of  Pam Howden(pollen parent).  Leda
was the key flower in the basket that won best in show at the National show.
It is a very tall growing, vigorous waterlily that has excellent stems. The
flowers are about 6 inches in diameter and are very nice shade of dark pink.
The ray florets cup upward very nicely.   If you grow waterlily dahlias and are
tired of  babying them along to grow nice flowers, you will really like Leda. It
needs no special care to produce lots of nice flowers and will be 5  to 6 feet
in your garden.

Best Basket at National Show in Snohomish in 2009. Picture was
taken in the afternoon of the second day and the flowers are
beginning to droop. Flowers were picked on Thursday and this
picture is Sunday afternoon. And remember we live 200 miles from
the show.  Margaret wants all to know that the Chimacum Troy
bloom on the lower left was bumped or shifted and it is not placed
where it was when the basket was judged.
