The center reminds me of a sea anemone.
And this beauty is at my local nursery. Sure wish it wasn't in the center of the pond...but I do like the reflection. There is just something so serene about a waterlily floating on a mirrored surface.

Waterlilies
Don't you love the structure and purity of a water lily? This one was tucked away in a small stream at the botanic garden, hiding near some shrubs. 
The center reminds me of a sea anemone.
And this beauty is at my local nursery. Sure wish it wasn't in the center of the pond...but I do like the reflection. There is just something so serene about a waterlily floating on a mirrored surface.

Phew...I love water lilies. I have never seen any just in 'the wild' though...know what I mean? My parents were green house nursery owners and we had tons of them around in ponds. I like the pink ones, but white ones are my favorites!
Very pretty!
Once when we were younger, we picked one for my mom and the stench was horrid!
That last one is just perfect. The space around it adds so much in this one. I love the reflection, too!
Pat, you captured the exact right mood of a water lily with each of these. I love the reflection every bit as much as the details in the close-ups. Lovely! ML
Gorgeous!
They are so beautiful, they don't even look real!!! Amazing!!
I so love water lilies and you got some beautiful ones!!
Oh WOW... these are gorgeous! I especially love the pink one with the reflection... so serene. My grandparents tried to put waterlilies in their pond this year but they died pretty quickly. I wonder if the ducks and the dogs swimming in there had anything to do with it?
