Hi Andy,

I recently saw some large (1' diameter or more) lily pads at the Wichita Mountains NWR in southern Oklahoma with some beautiful large lillies that had blooms that were white, about the size of cantelope or basketball, and standing on stalks about two feet off of the water. I know it wasn't from any water drawdown as the pond was flowing over a spillway. I would love to get this plant established on my own pond, but worry about "stealing" a couple of plants from Federal Lands. Would you happen to know what this might be and where I could find it way down here?
