What an appropriate name, it really does look like a water lily! I have never seen this one, lucky you!

It really is a pretty variety. It makes me think of a bowl of ice cream!

With some strawbery ripple in it! I want one! I have one order one called Reggae, a cybister type, but this is going on my 'look for' list'! How did you find that one?

I've found that 'Nymph' is pretty easy to come by here. I've found it in a box kit in Walmart stores. I do like the flamboyant doubles and 'Cherry Nymph' which is the red version was absolutely wonderful.

I do enjoy the Cybister types too - I'd love to find Reggae here! My Chico is budding so I hope to be posting pics of that over the next week or so. I'd love to see some photos of your Reggae!

If I ever get it I will post some pics. I ordered it last year from Jacquesamand, I had found them before but they are now online with ordering. I ordered some other things at the same time, it kind of justifies the postage! They do have some unusual things, good arisaemas too. They filled the order without the Amaryllis, they had it so you could put it in the basket so you would expect it to be 'in hand', but no. Their excuse was they couldn't get them from the Dutch suppliers. I was really annoyed, told them so, I possibly wouldn't have placed the order as that was the main reason I had. They sent me a letter in the Autumn saying they had it, at first i wasn't going to deal with them, but really wanted it and they had other great bulbs, so I crumbled. They should be sending it soon, I ordered early January I think, and the best time to plant them if not forcing is I think in April.

They do have an American site too, so if you can't get it now you may be able to do next year. There is a link at the top for the US store, oh now I will have to look again!
