I have a lovely "Almost Black" water lily with dark purply red pink flowers. They are beautiful and the plant blooms a lot. But my pond is too sunny for it and the flowers get sunburned after less that a day which makes me feel bad to see. (The edges of the flower petals get darker and shrunken). I would like to see this lily rehomed to a pond where it can blossom to it's full glory. The lily leaves come out as a darker purplish color and lighten to green. You would have to pick it up from my house. I attached photos so you can see what I mean by sunburned. In the pics with multi flowers, it is just the darker ones. I have several others nearby that do not have any problem with sunburn. In reading more about this lily, it is a known sensitivity for it.
In the photo with multiple lilies, there are 4 varieties. This one is only the darkest.
