Rose Arrey: Our first water lily bloom of the season

The first day of June, and we are celebrating our first water lily blossom of the season. Our little display pond has more than a dozen water lilies, and Rose Arrey beat all the others to claim the first blossom for 2009.

It looks like our second, third and fourth blooms won’t be far behind — there are an awful lot of flower buds floating just below the water surface.

Rose Arrey is one of our favorite water lilies. Not only is it an early bloomer, but it is extremely adaptable. This tough little water lily does fine in shallow water, but will still blooms in when planted in water that is five feet deep. Maybe deeper too?

As an added bonus, Rose Arrey is one of the few hardy water lilies with a noticeable fragrance. What’s not to like?

    [...] 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! [...]
