The slender water-lily Peeps dreamingly out of the lake; The moon, oppress'd with love's sorrow, Looks tenderly down for her sake. - Heinrich Heine, Book of Songs--New Spring (no. 15, st. 1)
How beautiful. My daughter is currently growing her own lily pads in a small plastic bowl on my kitchen island (the kit was a gift from grandma) but I can't imagine they'll flower in a small bowl and I can't leave standing water around in a bucket outside to help them grow larger (mosquito hazard).
Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world. I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Please leave a comment before you leave so I can visit your blog.
The beauty is in all! Fabulous shot dear friend, congratulations!
