Waterlily, Tropical Night Flowering at Longwood Gardens PA

The Waterlilies at Longwood Gardens are of such spectacular variety, and given the passion and care administered to each and every one, it is a photographer’s dream to have the array of beautiful subjects to shoot, of both day and night flowering variety. The pools of water, where these magnificent flowers are presented, have been darkened, so when the visitors and photographers view them, the contrast created is simply wonderful. And the durable pads are unbelievable in their vast array of shapes, textures, and sizes . . . Not to mention, the beauty. The black water prevents algae build up, and also minimizes the visibility of the mechanical operations beneath the surface—pipes, light posts, attachments, etc. When the Victoria Waterlilies are at their peak, they are simply incomparable in glorious nature and size.
