POTTING WATERLILIES
Potting Waterlilies . By Kit Knotts Click images to enlarge. When choosing a pot for your waterlily, it's always a good idea to use something wider than it is tall to minimize the possibility of tippingover.

Victoria's History By Kit Knotts - Click images to enlarge . Discovery of Victoria for the botanical world was made by Bohemian botanist and naturalist Tadeáš Haenke in 1801. Sent to Bolivia by the Spanish government to investigate the flora there, Haenke is said to have first seen Victoria on the river Mamore', one of the tributaries ofthe Amazon.
VICTORIA CULTIVATION Victoria Cultivation - 1 . Let us say at the outset that the recommendations here are our opinions as of now. As we learn more about Victoria, some ideas will change and we will make regular updates to these guidelines.Victoria is not an easy plant to grow. It requires special treatment throughout its life but the result is worththe effort.

INTRODUCTION TO ANECPHYA, THE AUSTRALIAN SUBGENUS OF The native waterlilies of Australia are not often found in cultivation, largely because the whole group is more sensitive to the cold than other tropical waterlilies. BIOGRAPHY JOSEPH PAXTON Joseph Paxton (1803-1865) Joseph Paxton was born August 3, 1803, in Milton Bryan, England, the seventh son of a yeoman farmer. He became a garden boy at 17 at Battlesden. There he created his first lake at the age 19. In 1823 he obtained a position at the Horticultural Society's Chiswick Gardens which were adjacent to the Duke of Devonshire's GROWING NELUMBO FROM SEED & SEEDLING CULTIVATION Preparing Nelumbo Seeds for Germination: Pointed end: Nelumbo seeds are either round and the size of a green pea or oval and the size of a shelled peanut. One end of the seed has a sharp point which is the remains of the floral stigma. On the opposite end is a tiny dimple, a remnant of where the seed was attached to the mother plant The seed color can vary from gray to dark brown or black.
