The Beauty of Waterlilies.

The Beauty of Waterlilies.

"Just living is not enough; One must have Sunshine, Freedom, and a little Flower."
(Hans Christian Anderson.)

Water lilies are often referred to as the Jewels of the Pond, serve multiple purposes. Not only are they beautifully decorative, but they assist the ecosystem by maintaining the health of the ponds they inhabit.

They provide shade reducing the heat in summer, slowing down the growth of algae, and sheltering the fish in the pond. By absorbing nutrients in the water they deprive the undesirable green plants such as algae, thus keeping the water clear and clean.

Water lilies grow completely within the water and their leaves spread across the surface layering the pond with vibrancy and colour.

Waterlilies are very beautiful flowers anyway, but these have also amazing colors which makes them even more beautiful. These colors complement each other wonderfully and I like the flies onthe petals 😊

These are really nice shots.

And now I want to put purple water lilies in the aquaponics but I don't think I'll be allowed to XD (and because it's not a pond I don't think they'd do so well anyway)

[trudeehunter]

I don't know much about aquaponics but it might be worth finding out if it can be done. They are such beautiful flowers. Thanks very much for your visit and input.

Love your violet coloured water lilies. They just happen to be one of my favourites.

[trudeehunter]

I agree with you Angie, the violet coloured water lilies are pretty hard to beat aren't they!
