Friday Fabulous Flower - water nymph(aea)

OK nothing too exotic, just a water lily, but it was such a nice image, the white tepals against the darker background.  People always ask about the damned fish, to which TPP answers, "It's a lily pond that just happens to have a few fish in it."  No one even notices the difference between waterlilies and lotus. Got a half inch of rain yesterday, but pond loses water to evaporation quickly in the summer. Turning off the cascade at night reduces the rate to loss. More rain please.
