Nymphaea 'Aurora'

Nymphaea "Aurora" is a beautiful, orange-colored water lily for small to medium-sized ponds, which has the special property that the flowers change color during the growing season. The rather small, round leaves appear purple and then turn dark green with brown spots during the season. This water lily flowers from June to September, with small, delicately scented, star-shaped flowers. Cream-yellow flowers with a yellow center at first, after a few days the flowers turn copper-coloured to orange. The diameter of the flower is about 6 to 12 cm. As soon as the flower has finished blooming, the seeds sink to the bottom.
