Large aquatic herb called Nymphaea Rubra ( Nymphaeaceae – Red lily ) The common name, shared with some other genera in the same family, is water-lily or waterlily. The name Nymphaea comes from the Greek term “Νυμφαία”, posibly related to “Νύμφη” meaning “nymph”. The nymphs in Greek mythology were supernatural feminine beings associated with springs, so the application of the name to delicately flowered aquatic plants is understandable. Despite their name, water-lilies are not related to the true lilies (family Liliaceae). The name “lily” is applied to a number of plants that are not at all closely related, such as day lilies, spider lilies and arum lilies, in addition to the water lilies. Nymphaea (Egyptian lotuses) are also not related to the Chinese and Indian lotus of genus Nelumbo, which are used in Asian cooking and sacred to Hinduism and Buddhism. However, the genus Nymphaea is closely related to Nuphar, another genus commonly called “lotus”. In Nymphaea, the flower petals are much larger than the sepals, whereeas in Nuphar the petals are much smaller than its sepals. The fruit maturation also differs, with Nymphaea fruit sinking below the water level immediately after the flower closes, whereas Nuphar fruit are held above water level to maturity. Both genera share leaves with a radial notch from the circumference to the petiole (leaf stem) in the center.

The glowing golden centre and the radiating violet blue petals belong to a very fine specimen of Nymphaea violacea (Water Lily) , a very common Australian native water plant. The photograph was made as I was sitting on a little jetty over a large pond on the property of a camera club friend at Kundabung , between Kempsey and Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on a lovely autumn day. With this particular one I was trying to photograph the interaction of the tiny black Australian stingless native bees (Trigona carbonaria) with the water lily when literally out of the blue, the much larger European honey bee (Apis mellifera) , dropped into shot just before I pressed the shutter. Lucky me! Lucky you! Lucky us! Fuji S9600:RAW, Manual settings of f/6.4 @ 1/1200sec, Manual focus, Hand held. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS.

I love water lilies.

A small blue lotus flower thrusts its head wistfully above the waters of the Amazon Lily Pond in Adelaide’s Botanical Gardens. It probably feels a little outdone by the giant pink Amazon waterlilies who “own” the glasshouse it shares.
