In the Garden

This week in the garden. . . the water lilies are blooming!

A cluster of white flowers with yellow centers.

A big pale yellow flower.

These smaller flowers are bright magneta with yellow centers.


They are all hardy water lilies that live in our small garden ponds year round in Indiana. As long as the roots don't feeze in the winter, they provide these gorgeous blooms all summer long!
