Go to texaswaterlilies.com and click on tropical waterlilies and they will show you a group of pictures and both are listed there. I like the Panama Pacific better and have it. Glenda

Thanks Glenda,
I've seen the pictures, but was wondering how they compare in reality.

Very little difference in color between Tina and Panama Pacific.

Tina is more robust, produces viviparous plants easier, puts out more blooms, has smaller lilypads, more heat and cold tolerant. Panama Pacific seems to spread larger, making the blooms look small

Woods White Knight is a very dependable night bloomer, very reliable at making easy to keep tubers

Missouri is a GREAT night bloomer, but it's not for a small pond.
Needs medium to large ponds.

I planted mine in a mud pond and the pads grew about 18" across. Blooms were at least 8" wide.
Very thick texture to both the leaves and the pads, almost succulent.
It was a very happy Lily! :)

Thanks sdavis and Joyce.

I'm growing these in 100 gallon stocktanks, so I'd better stick to Tina. I've had that one before and it did well. I was just curious about how the shades of purple compared, and it sounds like they're very similar.
Joyce.....I think I remembered seeing a lily in your lotus pond. I just have a very small lotus pond (300 gallon stocktank), but was wondering if I put a lily in there too, it would probably be too shaded. Is your's more at the edge, where it might get more sunlight?

My favorite is the Woods White Knight tropical lily.
