There is always something magical about seeing waterlilies for me. I used to love scenes as this one in the picture. As a child when we went to my moms home town during the vacation this was a regular scene for me. Just sitting by the pond for hours then made me happy. I would refuse to go back home. The helper ladies who took me to the pond would complain to mom about me everyday.
I had this dream for years that I wanted my own waterlily pond. But here in the city where space is nonexistent this would have remained just a dream. Until I saw how we could grow waterlilies in small tubs.
Now I have four tubs of waterlilies , it may not be as beautiful as this natural pond, but its a dream come true for me.

There are quite a few ponds near me where water lilies bloom, dear Dawn
Lucky you Lado, I wish we had some near our home.
Lovely photo, I never see these except at parks.
Thanks Carol , I do love this picture.
I like waterlilies , I think no one dislike waterlies
I agree those flowers have some magic to them.
I love waterlilies. Several years ago there were a few on Lake Chindia in my city, but they disappeared.
I am so sorry about that, hope your town decides to regrow them.
When I first started developing our garden here we had a pond and I remember how I used to stop where there were lakes and make my husband pull out lotus plants from there.
We had a huge collection of different colours until I spotted a snake and that was the end of the lotus pond (lol)
I have mine on the terrace so no fear of snakes though at times snails do appear.
