What are the purple striped lilies called?

 

[magoo]

Hello Computer guy,

If you are referring to the pads, variegated or mottled. There is another technical name for it but I can not remember the word. If it is a specific photo. I can only remember the names of two of the plants.

Marbled, mottled is the usual phrase for variegated pads. Tanzanite, Miami Rose, Star of Zanzibar look like some of the hybrids with marbled pads, mebbe Ostara too!

Now JW, fancy schmancy looking tropical waterlilies can be found on ebay for $10 or so. A tad easier than trotting over to New Orleans

You can not buy a tropical lily over the internet that compares to the size and condition of AAG's lilies. You can get most of the lilies over the net but not in the same condition. Plus you are sure that your getting a Truely Named lily there. In my experience you can't always be sure your getting the lily your are paying for over the internet. Mostly to rich for my blood though.
