Thank you.
It poured rain yesterday after I took that pic and the flower almost fell apart and looks so sad today but #2 opened this morning.
That pic was not edited in any way nor the one in thos post, and true to the actual colour. The flowers usually last 3-4 days, but gets paler each day and becomes almost entirely yellow by the time the pettals fall.
Lilypon, Lotus are hardey here in Zone 5 but I expect you would have to winter yours over in the garage or your basement, should you try one. [ go for it] I have never been able to successfully pass on tubers from mine and have them take but if I have any this fall that look like they may just work, I am willing to try if you are.
This is a pic from last year that shows the colour on day 3.
