San Angelo Collection

The International Water Lily Collection San Angelo, TX. held their Water Lily Festival Sept 16,2006. IWGS members in attendance included Rip Sokol, Wayne Davis, Tish Folsom, Mike Swize, John Jung, Rolf Nelson, and of course the Director of the collection Ken Landon. Over 200 people were in attendance for the dedication of the garden in memory of Ken's mother Ineta Ruth Morris. The Mayor, Parks Director, and some members of the City Council were key participants.

Over 100 species and hybrid waterlilies were on display. It was certainly the largest collection of individual varieties of waterlilies any of the IWGS members in attendance had seen on public display anywhere. All agreed it was worth the trip to central Texas to see this outstanding display.
