From the Indianapolis Whitewater Gardens.
I have been trying all summer to catch this bloom in the white phase. This is the first year for these Amazon hybrid giant water lilies at the garden. I was there when the gardener measured the largest diameter at 54 inches. They are night bloomers and the next phase is a hazy purple bloom. My previous posting shows both common lilies ant the Giant Victorian as well as a second phase bloom. If you search Amazon lilies on the web you will find pictures of the pad supporting the weight of an infant. The pads themselves are lined with thorns on their undersides to prevent fish and others from nibbling on them.

De los jardines de Indianapolis Whitewater. He estado intentando todo el verano para coger esta floración en la fase blanca. Éste es el primer año para estos lirios gigantes híbridos del agua de Amazon en el jardín. Era allí cuando el jardinero midió el diámetro más grande en 54 pulgadas. Son bloomers de la noche y la fase próxima es una floración púrpura nebulosa. Mi fijación anterior demuestra a ambos lirios comunes la hormiga el Victorian gigante así como una segunda floración de la fase. Si usted busca los lirios de Amazon en la tela usted encontrará los cuadros del cojín que apoya al peso de un infante. Los cojines ellos mismos se alinean con las espinas en sus superficies inferiores para evitar que los pescados y otros mordisquen en ellos.

beautiful flower, what a pitty that it's not bigger :( very nice details, good contrast...imho you should try to change POV, so that the shot was more interesting
best regards, Koleta

Hi, John.
This is a beautiful lilly - great capture. I love the reflection in the water. It could be more centered though..Overall - well done (",)

Regards and TFS,
Vanya
