Nursery contributed plant descriptions

It may not be flashy or ancient, but this sublimely simple waterlily dahlia is one of the most beautiful flowers we've ever grown - yes, ever. Bred by the Lombaert brothers of Belgium, it's a baby-fresh masterpiece of white, pink, and lavender, on a plant that's not too tall, with wiry stems that practically beg you to cut them for bouquets.
