Hey, vizion, welcome to Pond Boss Forums! Great to have a member from the UK - not sure if we have any already or not!

I don't know the answer to your question, but we have some outstanding aquatic vegetation folks here, including Bill Cody who is a real master of water lillies. Hopefully he'll have a chance to check in over the weekend and give you some true expert analysis. There are others as well, but Bill is an ace.

We're glad you joined up. Please consider making a post in the New Members section of the forum and tell us a little about yourself, your pond, and your management goals for the pond.

Again, welcome!

Thanks very much - I am quite keen to get this identified for a photographic competition which closes tomorrow. I have no idea what this one is and the person whom I know who usually knows is completely stumped.

I will add something in the next few days.

vizion, The lily is unusual. It is not a common hybrid hardy lily. Is that one of its leaves next to the flower / bloom? Note the spines on it.

Neither I nor anyome I know has been able to identify it. All I did was photograph it at considerable risk (the water was deep) and with great difficulty!! :-;) I presumed the thing with spines is a leaf but do not know for certain. However you can see that the mature leaf (which is just out of focus left rear) also has spines.

Victoria, possibly cruziana, amazonica, or Longwood hybrid
