Hello Friends,

This is another Water Lily photo that I took in September at Indianapolis White River Gardens.
I hope you like it :)
Cheers and Have a Nice Day,
Chris Tolga

Nymphaeaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. The family is also called the "water-lily 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.

Water lilies can be fragrant ( 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.

Hi Chris. Along with Lotus, this is one of my favorite flowers to see alive as well as in photographs. You made a good job of this which is resulting in a perfect display of clarity and colour. Well presented. Murray.

its very bright
and the dark background give it more contrast
very sharp and well composed shot

Hola Chris,
bella presentación,

Hi Chris,
This is a beautiful flower. I must admit that I had never before appreciated their beauty. Your photo captures, so well, the delicate shading of the petals. Excellent use of a shallow depth of field to isolate the flower from its BG. Wonderful image. Cheers, Todd
