Wonderful Water Lilies

 We live near a canal and it is bustling fully of native water lilies i think they are called Spatterdocks and they seem to love the deep water in the canal as they all the way up one side of the water leaving just enough room for the barges to travel.

So from the simple yellow native water Lilly to some more ornamental pretty ones found on a day out that anyone would love floating in a pond or lake and seeing as they are all bursting forward and blooming this time of year here are some snaps to show how beautiful they are.
 Nymphaea pink tulips, aren't these lovely

 Nymphaea rose are above and Nymphaea Charlene below

These aquatic plants really are very pretty and calming to look at

    I bet the water lilies look amazing when they all flower at once! The Nymphaea rose are my favourite because I love red and green together :)

    Oh my - so lovely Helen, see if that were me, I would have fallen in...
    I especially like the Nymphaea Charlene one. I can't think of the last time I was by a canal - must be at least 1990! Shame on me.
    Beautiful shots - and thanks for joining in x

    Wow they are so pretty. We used to have a pond and a white lily in the pond, so pretty when it flowered, very envious you get to see them in a local canal

    Lovely shots and what a great focus! We were admiring all the lily pads on a pond the others day, we have a good friend called Lily so the kids were fascinated!
