Life cycle of a waterlily

All of these photographs were taken at Perry's Water Garden in North Carolina.
They were all taken July 4, 2008,
I have just been very slow at getting back to seeing what I captured that day.






And the cycle begins again.
Hope everybody has enjoyed a touch of July this cold December day.

A nice reminder of warmer days.
It's -12 here with a wind chill of -35.

Leedra, I enjoyed seeing the progression. How long does it bloom??? Did you keep going back to check--or did you use the different stages from several different lilies??? Very interesting. I think I like the 2nd picture the best--mainly because of the colors.
Hugs,
Betsy

I am sorry, I was not clear. These are different flowers at different stages. They do open and close daily from what I understood while there.
