Description
I enjoy taking macro shot of my subject matter. I like the viewer of my work to see the beauty of the subject. In this case, I loved the color of the lily and wonderful detail of lily.
This macro capture of a the heart of a water lily is very fragrant and is a day-bloomer of medium-sized, free-flowering, tropical water lily that features brilliant yellows, pinks, and red violet colors. The open star-shaped flowers (to 7-10 diameter) with yellow centers. Flowers bloom continuously from summer into fall. Each flower appears on a stalk above the water surface, opening in the morning and closing at night, and blooms for about 3-4 days. Oval-rounded, green leaves (to 10" x 12") have some purple blotching. Leaves float on the water surface. Leaf undersides are purple with well-defined green veins. Plants will spread to 5-8" wide.
I hope you have enjoyed this work and will hare it with others. You can see more of my work on my homepage. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
