Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Lily pads

Yesterday, I went with two friends to do a repeat bio-assessment of an acreage south of the city, near Millarville. The owners have an amazing garden, including a wonderful pond. I was thrilled to bits to see an open Water Lily on it - a very different species from the ones I usually photograph in the Butterfly House at the Calgary Zoo. Some other plants in the pond had been chewed on by two Moose who are frequent visitors to this acreage. I'm so glad they hadn't nibbled on this Water Lily, LOL!

This was the only time I remember going to the Butterfly House in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo when there were two different kinds of Water Lily growing.

These attractive Lily pads were taken at a small pond on an acreage south of the city, near Millarville. This bud will open into a beautiful, white Water Lily. Meanwhile, I thought the colours and patterns of the leaves had their own beauty.
