Nymphaea James Brydon (hardy waterlily)
From knee high to a grasshopper there has always been the quirk to try a decent variety of pink waterlily.
Photo's of James Brydon and Rose Arey were a distant dream. Alas every local reseller and nursery picked their plants up on the cheap from the same motley crew that made a fast buck clearing ponds...
One day the penny dropped, the pond was emptied and bleached to eliminate crown rot and I travelled a long way to a reputable collector who without doubt had a disease free, flowering collection.
Fortunately nowadays there is ebay, which makes finding a decent variety for $10 or so a lot easier. No need to be stuck with iffy plants, from iffy resellers, or scamericanponders, at all...
