Is this a Barbara Dobbins water lilily?

Dallas, GA(Zone 7b)

It's either that or a Colorado because those are the only ones I ever bought. We never got many blooms from our older, smaller, shadier pond.. so we added a new larger, sunnier pond (well, that was one reason... the other was that those darned goldfish just kept making more darned goldfishes.. and more.. and more).

Anyway, would appreciate corroboration or correction. Am posting several pictures because I just took them and really want to share!

If those are the only 2 choices, I think colorado would have much more color than that with your climate. And that is more color than my BD would have in my climate......so I would have to say it's BD.

It's lovely, whatever its name. Very nice pics and pond!

Dolores, CO(Zone 5b)

Very pretty! Whatever it is!

I finally had some other lillies bloom - and these are definitely the Colorados. So my original photos were of Barbara Dobbins.
