Purple water lilies are the first water lilies to close the beautiful purple blossom - opening early morning and closing the blossom already before noon. To enjoy the beauty of purple water lilies get up early and enjoy the beauty of morning hours in Cambodian tropical vegetation and scenery.

Lily ponds always are abundant with other life forms - edible or medical. Edible like fish, snails, etc - medical like leeches.
Many of these lotus ponds or lily ponds are shallow and often less than one meter deep - during dry season. Hence this lily pond is an attraction and living invitation for a bath! Despite the leeches. The water is clean and clear in many areas of the pond. The bottom amazingly hard clean sand.

Widescreen wallpaper.
Find more lotus wallpaper in both - normal and widescreen wallpaper format.

Best in show was awarded to Matthew Soper of Hampshire Carnivorous Plants and he was delighted. carnivorous_300x150.jpg"This is a very special year, not only because of this award at Tatton Park but it means we have won ten consecutive golds at Chelsea, ten at Hampton Court, ten at BBC Gardeners' World Live and now ten at Tatton Park and best in show. I couldn't be more pleased, it's fantastic!" Well done to Matthew. I couldn't mention the floral marquee again without letting you know how Medwyn Williams got on. Well, his gold medal record is as unblemished as his prize winning vegetables; another gold for Medwyn and an unbroken record. And to top it off the sun is shining! I'm really not used to this at a flower show, I might have to go and have a lie down. In the sun. With an ice cream perhaps...
