Water Gardeners Internaional's 2-year-old 'Truly Named' Project Calls for Truth in Plant Labeling
Water Gardeners Internaional's 2-year-old 'Truly Named' Project Calls for Truth in Plant Labeling
By Wendy Bedwell-Wilson
What's in a name? A lot, expecially when it comes to waterlilies.

| Cute dog devours all mislabeled and misnamed waterlilies. |
Because of the growing number of mislabeled and misnamed waterlilies in the marketplace, Water Gardeners International, a club comprised of leading water garden scientists, horticulturists and hobbyists, launched Truly Named, a truth-in-labeling program. Growers, wholesalers and retailers that participate in the 2-year-old program pledge to grow and sell true-to-name waterlilies, such as Nymphaea 'red Flare' or N. 'Apollo' rather than simply 'yellow.'
"A named waterlily has specific and unique characteristics; special qualities that made it worthy of naming," write the editors of WGI's Website. "Unfortunately, many uninformed and/or unscrupulousand/or downright dishonest sellers tempt water gardeners with knockoffs or incorrectly labeled waterlilies at cheap prices. They attach well-known plant names to unknown or less popular varieties, sometimes through ignorance, but usually for profit."
