| DSCN0647 [Nymphaea masaniello] |
Nymphaea masaniello is an aquatic, perennial flower
that produces large (up to 10cm wide), fragrant flowers that float on the surface of the water.
They bloom from early summer to early fall and for several days
they remain open in the day but they close and sleep at night.
Shooting wild flowers on the mountains is my irreplaceable hobby
but I also I find shooting ornamental flowers in gardens occasionally irresistible!
This was the case with water-lilies in “Diomides” botanical garden in Athens back in 2006.
They were beautiful to look at but unfortunately not easily accessible over the water for one to smell their fragrance!
