Description
While it floats ever so peacefully,
the surrounding waters ripple and splash.
It was created quite wonderfully,
making all other flowers seem as ash.
The pretty little petals display such grace
as they manage to stay afloat in the water.
Their delicate features remain in place,
even as the summer sun gets hotter.
The beautiful variations of color are numerous.
How else would the flower be so lively?
It's sweet aroma is especially luscious.
Due to many paintings it's beauty is known widely.
However, it's strength is commonly overlooked.
The waters swirl and race, ripple and chase,
yet the flower still lays atop the water, unhooked
by the ever-present dangers, far worse than a foot race.....Taylor Boydstun.
Water lilies (Nymphaea spp.) are well-known for their distinctive lily pads as well as their showy flowers -- the "lily" part of the plant name. With most species hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 10, it's no wonder the lily pads get more recognition than the flowers; the lilies only bloom for a few days, while the lily pads stick around all season.
