Flora: Water Lily


The surrounding area started to get shape after the sunrise. The channel are filled with water for the paddy field. Birds started their life early in the morning, looking for food.

I saw some water lily or nymphaea lotus in the water channel. Despite their name, 'water lily' is not a true lilies from Liliaceae family. Water Lily is from Nymphaeaeae family. (referred to Wikipedia)

I picked one isolated water lily and took the photo. It looks calm and lonely, facing the sky with its white petals against the dark water.



Thank you.
