Rapaciously we gathered flowery spoils
From land and water; lilies of each hue,—
Golden and white, that float upon the waves,
And court the wind.

Monet-inspired water lily painting lesson
I have a great fondness for waterlilies. There's a gentleness about them somehow.
ReplyDeleteEspecially liked Nelumbo nucifera (lotus flower) and Sagittaria trifolia and Lotus.
These are so beautiful and peaceful. I especially like the ones with reflections in the water.
