Nymphaeaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. The family is also called the waterlily family. The white water lily is the national flower of Bangladesh. It is also the birth flower for July.

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.

Horticulturally, 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.

The viability of water lily seeds is exceptionally long, around 2000 years. ({{citation needed}}

Water lilies can be fragrant (for example Nymphaea odorata). There are hundreds of variations of a common water lily.

Water Lilies are most famously represented in popular culture by the French artist Claude Monet in a series of paintings.

(the reason I noted this, is because I dedicated this image to my pets)
:)
My respect to all the animals who are pets around the world,
bringing Joy and happiness to millions (should I say billions) of people.

All those people who come home after a hard day, How do you guys N' gals feel when you open 'that door' to find your pet waiting to see and greet you.
Calm you down giving you 'that look'
They have their own way of telling you, relax, take it easy (without saying a word)

The instinctive reaction of a pet on seeing the owner is a burst of emmence happiness and thrill.

So to all the animals who make this World a better place : My sincere regards and thank you.

psst.Now GO give your pet a hug N' some goodies ;)

Cheers :)

Allo Vishal,
This is a fantastic macro. I love the way you composed it and I like those nice details. Good exposure and lightning. I liked your note about pets but this funny cause you posted a flower... Anyway, I liked it and I'll give my cats big hugs :)
Claudine

Well composed - the flower colours contrast well against the background and the positioning makes good use of the negative space to the left.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Mark,
And how well composed! The flower occupies just enough space in the photo, and stands out so very well from the black background. Nice and sharp too.
Great stuff,
Jako

Hello Vishal.
Great decorative shot, dramatically set off in black, and nicely framed. Minimalist presentation, yet very nicely detailed.
Cheers

Hello Vishal,
excellent close up and a great composition. The dark BG shows of the details and colors of this gorgeos color so well. POV, sharpness and lighing is excellent. I love the placing and the crop of your subject.
Very well done.

Hi Shal

Great shot of the flower, I really like this technique and framing, I'd sen several shots like this which were the inspiration for the one I posted. I actually took a few shots framed like yours but my flower wasn't good enough to carry it off like this.

Thanks

Andrew
