[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Fragrant Water Lily [Nymphaea odorata].
June to September. Found in quiet waters, ponds, slow-moving rivers and lakes.
One of the most common of White Water Lilies. The flowers usually open from early morning until noon.
The stomata, tiny openings on the leaf surface through which carbon dioxide plus other gases pass into the plant, are on the upper, shiny water repellent leaf surface, not on the lower leaf surface, as in the case of most dry-land plants.

Wonderful picture! Lovely flower! Great POV and excellent DOF! Well done!

Regards,

A beautiful capture Roy
Such a delicate flower. The dark background really brings out the colour and shape nicely. I like the composition of the flower more on the left side of the shot. Very pretty. TFS Janice
