[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Although the lily is a lavender colour, it seems to be called Blue Lily.
The lily is mentioned in ancient Egyptian history, the lily represented the Sun in a blue sky.
Taken at Wright's Water Gardens in Patamahoe.
The temperature was 26°C in Auckland yesterday, but it was over 30 at the gardens, absolutely energy sapping.
The gardens are a month or two away from looking their best. Not many Lotus out yet.

Excellent composition Pete.

Colours and detail are sharp and accentuated by the dark BG. Great framing and labelling.

Well done. TFS.
