About Utopia Aquatic
To provide quality, true-to-name, tropical water lilies.
Brief History
Utopia Aquatic, began as a private collection of tropical water lilies.
In April of 2005, "www.utopiaaquatic.com" was reserved and was primarily used for hosting pictures.
In April of 2006, Utopia Aquatic was registered with the state of Florida. Having a high appreciation of aquatics, Utopia Aquatic has evolved from a private collection of specimens to a small business. Located in Tampa Bay, UA specializes in true-to-name tropical water lilies. Always quality before quantity.
In spring of 2007, Utopia Aquatic voluntarily joined Truly Named by Water Gardeners International and became a participating member. In 2008, Utopia Aquatic further upgraded membership to certifying member.
