[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Nymphaeaceae is a name for a family of flowering plants. Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live in freshwater areas in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains 8 genera. There are about 70 species of water lilies around the world[1]. The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species across the Northern Hemisphere[1]. The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies and can be found in South America[1]. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the water surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria.

Water lilies are divided into two main categories: hardy and tropical. Hardy water lilies bloom only during the day, but tropical water lilies can bloom either day or night, and are the only group to contain blue-flowered plants.

Water lilies can be fragrant, such as Nymphaea odorata.

Hallo Adrian
This is a beautiful image. The colours are vivid and come alive on the screen. The contrast between the pink and green is really lovely. The one or two white lily’s in between adds that extra oomph to this already great image. It is a pleasant and soft on the eye scene, which I would associate with a little girl’s dream. I cannot pin point why I say so, but that is just what I see looking at the image. Maybe there is some fairies hiding away somewhere. The mirror image in the water is really great. Thanks for sharing this colourful scenery. It was very relaxing to look at.
Best regards
Anna
