It's sad but true,
that when we have something in abundance
we can become nonchalant about it.
For a number of reasons
(mainly raccoons)
I rarely have more
than one or two lily pad flowers each summer.
I'm starting to think this is a good thing.
Because they are scarce,
I drool over each stage of their development.
From just barely visible under water
to the emerging bulb,
until finally, they are the gorgeous,
pink, multi-petalled, floating beauty you see here.
I'm happy they are so rare
because this makes me regard them
as precious.
Gorgeous! Naughty racoons:) I love these flowers as well. Don't get to see them often.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images you've got over there, I love 'em.

ReplyDeleteYou have made me feel better about the fact that my little pond lilies are less than abundant too - mine are white
ReplyDeleteVery pretty water lily, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI have 4 lily pad in my pond and all of them are in bloom now, but my big problem is their wintering.
Lovely photos!
