Winter water lily

[Luisd]

I´m surprised that this tropical water lily bloosom also in winter in my climate!

I think that will be the last flower. Is the hybrid " King of the blues" maybe more cold tolerant that others tropical water lilies:

I find tropical waterlilies normally flower in winter/dry season (if there's plenty of water. The summer, or wet season, there's lots of flooding and the waterlilies seem to have evolved to stay low (below water level) while there's dramatic fluctuations in water levels. When there's less or no change in the water ,then they flourish. So I guess in your situation, if the temperatures are still reasonable they should keep going.

I ussually have cultivated cold hardy water lilies, and those that are more resistant to cold, two months ago that lost their leaves.

This keep the leaves and flowers. Lower temperatures have been 4-5 C. Others years the plant cleaned and preserved in a jar.

I have covered my pond with a plastic sheet on cold nights, tropicals do fine and are ready to go in the spring.
