Amazonian Waterlilies

Description

Giant Amazonian Waterlilies at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in St. Paul Minnesota.

Each blossom is attached to six or so giant lily pads by underwater stalks and some of the most impressive flowering plants I've ever seen. The botanical center in Bogota, Colombia has some of these giant lily pads but the blossoms were not in bloom at the times when I've been there.

This Waterlily is just Grand. So crisp, clear, and clean. I love the reflection in the water of the Lily. Great job.
I live not to far from the Como Conservatory. I go there a lot.
as a matter of fact I may be going back there tomorrow.
That is where I get a lot of my flower shots from.
I have been looking at your Gallery and you have some really great Work.
You most certainly put my Flowers to shame.
The Door County shots are Awesome.
I would love to go to Door county and shoot someday.
That is on my list. From where I live here in the Cities it is like 5 hours.
Well I am going to have to Watch you. Love your Work. And I will have to check out your Wifes page also. Thanks :)
