It gave me plenty of joy for 4 days - four mornings to be precise. It closed down the show by noon each day.
First pink water lily this season
A little later than morning. Now fully open.
The pink and blue were together for two days. The blue seems to be a profuse bloomer.
Very pretty! :)

beautiful blooms--mine don't stay open all day either
This closes by about 2 or 3 PM. The blue one stays till evening.
Oh man, Is that cool or what?! Nice combination.
When the climate is cooler, it stays open longer. April was a hot month when it first showed up (above). It was about 35C. Now it has come down to 27C. And a lot humid with the monsoon rains.
One more open y'day.
That is a very pretty one dinu. I wish I had room for a lot more of them.
Some are lighter in shade, some are a bit richer in pink. Actually it is a blue lily that is about to open in the background. The pink opens before blue opens. Closes before blue as well.
New camera, better shot! This morning.
nice picture! you must be proud of that one! :)
If you care to share, I would love a d-mail with pic attached for a desktop/screensaver. If not I sure don't blame you. It is a magnificent photo.
Thanks a lot. I realized NOW after seeing it in a better PC monitor how good that shot was. It surprised me too. Oh yes, I'm sending it right away for your pleasure of a screensaver! Enjoy.

I loved that insect hovering to sit on the stamens.

One more from the opposite side, when the sun had moved a tad higher.
