Rembrandt Water Lily in bloom

Our Rose Arrey Water Lily beat it by two days, but the Rembrandt Water Lily made up for its tardiness by producing two blooms at once. We’ve now got three water lilies in full blooms, and dozens of flower buds that will begin to flower in the next few days and weeks. It’s looks like it will be a great year for water lily blossoms here. Can’t wait!

Rembrandt is an easy water lily, making it a great choice for just about any pond. The outer petals are a delicate pink while the inner petals turn a deep crimsom (easier to see in this photograph). Not only is the Rembrandt Water Lily attractive and forgiving, it is also one of the few water lilies that will flower in part shade.  If your pond — like ours — is surrounded by trees, Rembrandt might be a good choice.
