[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is taken from my archive.
This specie is rich with its dark green leaves.
Thr blue tips on the petals give another different view.
Identifying it is so difficult for me.
There are so many of them and they do not differ much to a layman like me.
Water lilies are the most beautiful flowers in aquatic gardens. They belong to genus Nymphaea. This genus name is the Greek word for water nymph. According legend, the plant originated from a nymph who died of jealousy through love of Hercules.

There are two different types of water lilies: frost-hardy and tropical water lilies. The two types are similar but not related closely enough for cross-breeding. Most of water lilies are fragrant, and the fragrance is unusual.

Beside their beauty, water lilies have been used in folk medicine a long time ago. In American and England, water lily root has been used as an internal medicine for dysentery, diarrhea, gonorrhea. It also used as an ingredient in gargles for sore throats and lotions for skin problems such as boils, ulcers, tumors, baldness and inflammations. The starchy tubers, seeds and flowers are used as foods in many different places around the world.

Hello Foozi! Nice waterlillies. Nice capture. Good exposure. Good contrast and sharpness. Well done!

Hello Foozi,

Well comoposed and beautiful flower!
It is unusual to see this kind of water lily for me.
I feel very fresh seeing a flower having blue petals and the center with yellow. And, it's drawing out a good effect in the whole on total color balance between flowers and green leaves of background. Good exposure and good note!

Regards,
mikio

Hello Foozi,
I didn't know that there were so many different species of water-lilies.
This species is a very fine-colored one with very subtle colors of petals and a wonderflul yellow in the heart of the plant. I also like-as usual_ your composition of the picture.
Thanks for both picture and note.
Kind regards
Anne

Dear Foozi!

You seem to become a specialist of Watr Lilies. In this picture I particularly appreciate the fantastic colours. The composition with the focus on the first flower in association with a wll balanced lighting creates a delicate picture.

Kind regards
