Water lilies


Water lilies, originally uploaded by andiwolfe.

Last of the series for now. I have an inordinate fondness for beautiful water lilies. If I thought my dachshunds would stay out of a water garden, I'd try to build one in my back yard. However, I can well imagine how Topper would use his enthusiasm for getting into trouble to wreak havoc with such an installation. Sigh.

Ode to better days

Another Nymphaea picture from the University of Florida museum garden. This one looks as if it's drowning and has seen better days.

Nymphaea

This is a picture I took yesterday in Florida. I have a real soft spot for water lilies, and I wish I could have a water garden in my yard. I can just imagine the chaos if I had one, though, with three dachshunds to swim in a pond containing pretty flowers.
