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...
