No color in Water Lilies is more attrac- tive than blue, and in this variety we have one of the most distinct and pleasing of this shade, the color being a rich violet-blue shaded amaranth; stamens purple with deep yellow centre. It has long, pointed buds like A^. piihherrima ; it also stands well out of the water, and is of vigorous, spreading habit. The flowers open early in the day and remain open until late evening. $ each. - Zanzibariensis.
