This was the first bloom I got this year. I am pretty sure it is one that Ponditis sent me in a secret trade!!! (Perry's Super White??????)

Very pretty.
very nice!
Nice pastel pink!!!! :-)
Is that Marliac Carnea?
Ruby that is so pretty! I bet that light color really sparkles in the dark pond.
whoops. That is mislabeled. It IS Marliac Carnea. lol My DH got some labels mixed up. (hiding under my arm right now in shame that you got one of the mislabeled ones. I thought that I had kept all of those till they were blooming and I could make positive id. When you are transplanting about 50 different ones in one day you are bound to make a mistake at the end of a long day. giggle
I hereby volunteer to accept all the mistakes! E me for my address! LOL It is really pretty no matter what the name is. :)
You got it BS. I will send you the mistakes from now on. You will have to build a much bigger pond though LOL
I'll start digging right now! If that is what your mistakes look like, I will dig up the whole darn yard. LOL
dig away
Well now, until Badseed builds her pond I can hold the mistakes in mine!!!!!!! hehe

Very nice Sue!
Uummmm, I've got room for a few mistakes, hehehe :)
Ok you gals can start building your moats now. I have lilies for all of you if you want them. They are taking over our pond here. I even have a few babies that I don't know what they are or where they came from. Maybe from seeds or ? LOL DH will start digging asap. Email me addresses and I will let you know postage costs. Sue, I will send you more if you want them in your box. BS gets some too in her box which this time I will mail from the PO and not my mailbox. Lani
ROTFL Can't talk now! Have to grab a shovel and get going!!!! See you all later!!! LOL
Oh Boy I am sooooo excited!!!!!! More pretty waterlily!!!! By the way Lani I mailed out your box today so you should have it by Saturday!!!!!!

A related question: can anyone tell me if Marliac Carnea (aka Apple Blossom) and Mary Exquisita (aka Marliacea Carnea) are all one and the same? We have them listed separately in the PDB, but I've wondered whether that's accurate... (and of course, I'm going to beg Ruby42 to post her photo - just as soon as I know which entry to point her toward!)
Just let me know where to post it go_vols and I will!!!!!!

IMHO Marliac Carnea is also known as Marliac Flesh or Morning Glory . Joseph Marliac bred it or discovered it in 1887 and it was one of his best creations according to many. It is similar to Marliac Rosea but the latter is about two shades deeper in pink. I also have Rosea and it is pretty too but I prefer the subtle beauty of Carnea. I have never seen any reference to Mary Exquisita until your letter here but I have seen the listing for Marliacea Carnea in my reading about water lilies. I have studied water lilies for about 10 years but that doesn't mean that these variaties don't exist. I just don't know about them and I have found that many nurseries have made their own names for things if they lost labels or divided them a-sexually before the patent was up. So you can come to your own conclusions on this one. Maybe somebody else has further information on this subject. Lani
Lani, I would love to have some also. Let me know how much to send.
