Victoria Water Lillies

...victoria water lillies...

Our exotic Victoria water lilies bloom once a year at night in late July to early August for just 48 hours! The day before the plant flowers, a tennis-ball sized bud rises out of the water. At sunset on the first night of its bloom cycle, the bud opens to reveal a 50+ petal bloom that may be up to 18" in diameter.

The bloom is sharply white and "glows" in the darkening night sky. As the flowering Victoria opens, it emits a strong fragrance of tuberose, pineapple and banana that can be sensed from 20 - 30 feet away. Don't miss this dramatic spectacle!
