What a beauty! I went back to see the blue (violet) one again. It is amazing to have these waterlilies in the garden. I never saw one in the open, just in the glass houses of the Botanical gardens.
I have never seen a water lily with fine petals like this, nor one with such a beautiful colour! I love it!!! Especially the water droplet in the second photo!
When I'm in my garden, I'm also gardening my heart. I sow seeds of love, patience and joy, and I pull out weeds of discouragement and despair. Every morning I wake up with the hope of harvest in mind.
"Shall we compare our hearts to a garden - with beautiful blooms, straggling weeds, swooping birds and sunshine, rain - and most importantly, seeds. ~Grey Livingston
