Clyde Ikins Hardy Water Lily

The Clyde Ikins water lily was created by Dr Kirk Strawn one of the premier pioneers in hybridizing water lilies. It was named after Dr Clyde Ikins, a charter member of the International Water Lily Society.
The blossoms of this hardy water lily bloom from a stalk several inches above the surface of the water. The flowers begin with a yellow tone and then as the season progresses become more of peach color. These photos where taken at the water garden at the Como Zoo over the summer.
