Victoria Trickeri Live Aquatic Plant

An interesting member of the water lily family that is characterized by enormous leaves, often six feet across and edges stiffly erect to the height of three to eight inches. William Tricker introduced this plant in 1894. The foliage is light green with purple under-surfaces. The entire under structure of the leaf and stems are covered by thorns. The flowers are enormous, opening a creamy white the evening of the first day, and closing the middle of the morning. On the second day the flower opens about four o'clock in the afternoon and is colored a deep pink. The fragrant flowers smell very much like ripe pineapples. It can be grown in the large or medium sized pools. The plant is a very fast grower and if given the correct growing conditions will rapidly become a spectacular site in any water garden pool.
