Water Lily 'Alba'

Pure white with a 'sunny' gold cup that likes deep water and large ponds.

Also known as European white waterlily, White lotus or Nenuphar.

Monks and nuns are said to use it as an anaphrodisiac!

These are a most accommodating pond plant and are of especial benefit in providing essential Summer shade to fish, and do help keep the water 'sweet' due to the absorption of toxins and actual water filtration provided by the underside of their leaves in Summer.
