[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Nymphaeaceae (pronounced /ˌnɪmfiːˈeɪsiːʔiː/) 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 during the day or at night, and are the only group to contain blue-flowered plants.
Water lilies can be fragrant, such as Nymphaea odorata.

Hallo Adrian
A very beautiful and full composition with a artistic touch to it. Purple being my favourite colour therefore this one is going straight to my theme "My purple obsession". Detail of the yellow inside the lavender petals is super sharp and displays beautifully. I like the shine of the water as part of your backdrop. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna

Bonjour Adrian,
Une de mes fleurs préférées !!!
Le cadrage serré et l'angle de prise de vue valorisent bien le sujet pour l'appréciation de la finesse de ses détails mais un éclairage qui me semble un peu trop fort empêche de percevoir pleinement la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
