Alisdair. The last time I tried to smell the perfume of a plant in the pond, it was the Aponogeton distachyos. I tripped and ended up with my head completely under the water!!!
So, I cannot yet tell you about Mayla's perfume.
John J. Those water lilies of Andreas Protopapas are amazing. When my husband was building my pool, I was trying to contact Mr Protopapas, as I had read about the visit to his nursery by the Cyprus branch.
I could not contact him however, but I am happy with how my little pond has turned out.
Nymphaea Moorei is gorgeous. It is the colour of Cornish Ice Cream. It looks good enough to eat!
HansA. It is really good to see your blue water lilies. It is so interesting seeing and hearing about other people's gardens. Which other blue water lilies have you planted? Is this their first year?
