I think Gonz's suggestion was closer in appearance ... but mine _is_ in a floor container... just not so blue... white tinged with lavander

Using your info (I never saw that googling) I think I'll call them and or send them that with my photo -

thanks much, John!

I searched the Brooklyn Botanic Garden database for "Water Lily". There
are several listed for the aquatic house, but most are listed as
"Shallow pool in the aquatic house".

One, a "nymphaea x daubenyana" is listed as being in the aquatic house
in a floor container.

Scientific Name: Nymphaea x daubenyana
Common Name: "Daubeny's Water-Lily"
Family:    Nymphaeaceae
Accession: 880390 -A
Location: GHAQCO (Plants in the aquatic house in the floor containers)

G - from a cultivated plant not of known wild origin

A Google Image Search returns results for "Daubeny's Water-Lily", but
wants to call it a "Dauben Water-Lily)

Here's a Tiny URL of the Google Image Search results:

calendar - I woudl like to

learn the exact name - The curator of the aquatic section of the
conservatory at the garden today was not around..

It's in water in a large pot.   Couldn't find it googling - similar, but
no match.
