Pankaj, you may be right... I did some search about history of
Nymphaea hybridization starting in 1800s ...
not found the peach color for Nymphaea Rene Gerard........
And there is a peach glow variety photographed at Brooklyn Botanical
garden ... see URl:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d7/Peach_Glow_water-lily_at_Brooklyn_Botanic_Garden.jpg/220px-Peach_Glow_water-lily_at_Brooklyn_Botanic_Garden.jpg
BUT currently Thailand is a hot spot for hybridization of water
lilies it seems ...
and these are brought in regularly ...
its possible... a new hybrid with peach color...
can happen...
or in a less charitable mood..one could say that ... this was
mislabeled by the gardeners...
