Here is what it looked like. You could ask her if she still have that kind and she might send you some tubers when she divided hers or you might ask her if she has some bright colored ones.

I got both my water lily from addy, we swapped plants a few times. I love the ones I have but I have room for a third one and I would like one that's bright as well as prolific. I researched the Perry's Baby Red that @Dimelius recommended but I can't seem to find a trustworthy vender... playkoi has a minimum of 3 plants of same kind x order so that doesn't work for me

@rubyduby thanks for your compliments

No one wondering why I leave that huge net laying around on the pond wall? Image

I got my first Water Lily from Lowe's and all the rest from addy. Go ahead and ask her if she has any of that one or any others that are nice and bright. That yellow one of @Dimelius 's is a beauty too!

found one at Pond Megastore ( https://pondmegastore.com/products/perrys-baby-red-waterlily?variant=39150542218t ) although the price is a lot more than other (out of stock) places.

@Dimelius I agree, that's a lovely mini lily Image

I ended up getting one from addy1, she said it should be the same she sent @j.w plus she threw in a couple of floaters (no, not that kindImage ) so we'll see I might end up with 3 new different colors

I can see if they start to grow from my deck
