I never knew they came in quite so many colors, Bill. Are these cultivars? In any case, a gorgeous image of this one. Depth of field looks perfect for the subject, and the detail when zoomed in is awesome.

Dennis: I’m not really sure. I haven’t exhausted the possibilities yet! I’ll ask the next time I go.

Just stop! I’m green with envy!!
I LOVE water lilies and none anywhere around here.
Another exquisite bloom, in a colour I’ve never seen, captured perfectly. The swirls in the water add depth, and the black BG sets off the bloom perfectly.

Bill, this is WAY out of my wheelhouse on the ability scale. Truly gorgeous and also presenting some well needed peaceful thoughts here… :+1: :+1:

Bill, yes this is probably a cultivar. In fact it looks a lot like the “Colorado” lily that grows in my pond, although the colors may be deeper than mine. I’ll post a view of mine shortly. I like that you’ve included some pad and some water reflections. Having some water drops on it adds a fine extra.
