Early Stage of Waterlily Buds

Various waterlily buds we saw while visiting Perry's Water Garden in North Carolina.

Not sure about this one, would have loved to seen one of these open. May not even be a water lily, but obviously it is a water plant.

There were lots of dragonflies around that day, but they were very active.
So they were very hard for me to capture with my camera.

Now you know the real reason we went to the mountains of North Carolina. To visit and photograph at Perry's Water Gardens

I have not even begun to go through my photos of the water lilies. So be watching for those photos at a later date.
