Abstract:

"For generations, a North Carolina family has propagated long lines of lilies and lotuses on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains." Niki Gibson has run the Perry's Water Gardens Nursery in the Cowee Valley near Franklin since 2010. Her grandfather Perry D. Slocum, a past president of the International Water Lily Society, left medical school to chase his botanical interests. His book, "Waterlilies and Lotuses" was published in 1996.
