All the shown hybrid lilies came from Texas A&M's Dr. Kirk Strawn. He's legendary for his hybridization of hardy water lilies. The 3 lilies shown are his Dallas, Colorados, and Charlene Strawns.
EDIT: corrected mislabeled lilies
Here's a marginal 2' deep shoreline that hybrid lilies have thrived in.
Here's a shallow open water hump that's covered in lilies. LMB are there and biting 100% of the time.
I've planted lilies on 5 brush piles. For 7-8 months a year, the brush piles provide cover and shade.
Just a pic. Like most of the lilies, they hold LMB.
