Could someone chime in on Hardy Lilies?

I was thinking about Texas Dawn and Fire Crest. Just to add some vegetation and color.


Here is what web site says about them.

Texas Dawn

Stunning water lily. Bright yellow blossoms (6-10") are held regally above richly mottled foliage (8"). A profuse bloomer, and wonderfully hardy. Adapts well to many climates. Will bloom heavily right up to the first frost.



Fire Crest
This is one of the fastest-growing lilies available for ponds. The light pink color of the flower petals contrasts nicely with the fiery red-orange stamens and bright green color of the pads. Expect this lily to spread one foot or more per year when planted into an earth-bottom pond.
Unknown hybridizer, originated circa 1930.
