The water lily is perhaps the most
poetic flower that exists and is known as Nymphaea; an aquatic plant in the
family Nymphaeaceae. They are opulent with iridescent colors and dream their
hours away in their watery gardens. Some water lilies open under reflected
sunlight and sink beneath the water at twilight, while other species such as
the Egyptian white water lily seek moonlight. Should you be so fortunate as to
view one in perfect bloom it will intoxicate you with its bewitching beauty and
leave an indelible watery impression of the other world upon you.
The water lily studies that
I am presenting in this series were captured at the: UC Botanical Garden, San
Francisco Botanical Garden and the Pool of Enchantment outside of the De Young
Museum in 2014.
