Breathtaking Water Lily

Of all the flowers we get, water lilies are perhaps the most amazing. Many people have never seen them outside of a pond. You might think they'd be beautiful floating in a shallow bowl but, as a cut flower, they are usually happier with their stems kept long and submerged in water up to their necks. Even as a cut flower, water lilies maintain their circadian rhythm, closing when it gets dark, then opening in the morning. They're not always readily available; perhaps that is part of their magic.
