Description

Although this lily appears to have been photographed in a special way, it is simply floating on the water of the pond it is growing in. Use of a neutral density filter removes all reflection from the water so that it appears completely black. This lily is the tropical day-flowering 'Missouri'. Water lilies belong to a family of flowers called Nymphaeaceae. They live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains five genera with about 70 known species. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on or emergent from the surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch or fully circular depending on the type of lily.
