The International Waterlily Collection has been designated by the International Waterlily & Water Gardening Society as the premiere collection of waterlilies in existence. This collection is the life work of one man with the mind of a scientist, the heart of a poet and the soul that embodies preserving waterlily heritage for the generations to come. His name is Ken Landon. Ken is only able to display about 1/2 of 1% of the collection each year so there is always something new and wondrous to see.

You cannot believe how surprised we were to accidentally run into this huge General Store. It is something to be admired when so many other towns with historic buildings have simply boarded them up. Its a lovely 3 part store now with beautiful restoration of the interiors and exterior. The goods are so varied that everyone should find something wonderful and special in there. Its clean and cheerful and there are big, fun, model airplanes hanging from the ceilings....bit ones, colorful and quite detailed. The guys loved them as much as the girls. Lots of samples in the kitchen area are offered...and they are fresh and clean. Staff was friendly, helpful but not obtrusive. We loved this place. Its a real treat now just before Christmas....but I imagine it is nice all year round. If you wonder where it is ...its part of Concho Corners an very nice shopping and dining area.
