Such a wonderful series of this beautiful,sacred flower.Hien.All your close-up photos are of high aesthetic standards and gloriously displayed.Love how they stretch their petals out of the water surface to catch the sun.I particularly like the one which is framed by the leaf and last but not least the” Sisyphus bee” sliding on the silky white texture of the petal.
Thank you Jerry! I have learned that 9 to 10 AM is the best time to photograph these flowers. Too early and they haven’t opened yet. Too late and they expand too much, looking like a big plate.

Thanks John! I had a lot of time to take these shots, especially as I had to wait for the sun to come out.
