from the Lily Pond...


This is first summer that the pink lilies have bloomed.
The color is fantastic. Hardy in this zone along with the
white ones, they are spreading nicely over the pond.
If a pond is 3/4 covered with lilies, the algae and other
pond nuissance plants will be shaded out. Usually carrying
frogs, these leaves or pads are anywhere up to 10-12 in.
in diameter now. BTW, these are very fragrant, too.
Looks like something Reba's prints or Carol's paintings.
