TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Waterlilies


A wealth of waterlilies, no, not in my garden, just from my
archives.

Sorry about the untidy post. Blogger is refusing to let me shift the photos about.
Frankly, I am a little miffed about it.

They do enlarge if so you wish. . .
did anyone spot the fish?

    Those waterlilies are gorgeous, very different color than I've seen in the States. The bud in the second photo almost looks like a mouth trying to find something to eat.

    Seems to be a lot of complaining about blogger lately, especially comments. I use Windows Live Writer off-line to set up my posts including photos. This free download works great.

    So beautiful! As if each flower had a light glowing inside.

    We all need a lot of patience with Blogger lately.

    Absolutely a delight for the eye.

    I love your waterlilies - they are blooming wild here now. (Yellow ones). Blogger has been giving me fits, too. Hope you're feeling well!

    i did enlarge and I really like the second photo a lot, the flower is beautiful,but even the leaves are special. thanks for stopping by my blog and i hope blogger will let us comment better in the future. it seems the past few days have been worse than usual. i had a terrible time commenting today and finally gave up and left the computer for a few hours. good luck with your comments. i hope they get it fixed soon. your site is beautiful, I loved the shadows in yesterday post.

    Aren't they so pretty. I remember when I was a kid we used to play in the pond because of the waterlilies and the adults told us not to pluck any flowers because they are for the fairy's can you believe that? ^_^ Well when I was young I did but it was okey I had a good time looking at them. Thanks for sharing this one reminisce my childhood. Happy Monday!

    I had the same problem too in posting my images. Blogger must have been having some problems.
    Oh-I have waterlily envy! Nice bunch of images in your archives.

    They are beautiful Arija. I love the huge lilies the size of pizza plates in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens - even as a child they fascinated me. The colours in the lily flowers you've featured are beautiful.

    These water lilies are really great decorations to lily ponds. I love these kind of lilies not the green ones. Thanks for sharing photos of these lilies. Made me really inspired to get some red lilies to my ponds.

    Wonderful lilies! They are bigger than I’ve seen in states. The color is so brilliant than the other kind of water lilies. I have small green lilies in my pond and it looked nice. But these pink lilies are much more beautiful when I put those in my pond.
