Hi,
I think Gardens of Babel in Lapta could have some as they have a large pond and sell water lillies etc.

'Ello Bigbadbob Follow Orange signs "babel" from left turn just before the Lapta coastal strip travelling from Alsancak direction. You may have to work hard to find someone to serve you, as evidently business changing hands currently. Meantime if you like umbrella plants put a small one in a pot with gravel only, not soil, add large stones to the top to stop rummaging of fish if you have them. Set in pond with top of pot just below water line - it will grow very quickly. If you need a vigorous lily you are welcome to one from our pond anytime and any other cutttings from the garden you might fancy. The Wildebeest joins me in greetings to you both and we hope you are settling in OK.
