When I headed up to Longwood Gardens recently in hopes of photographing water lilies, I expected to see mainly white water lilies, since those are the ones I’m nost familiar with. I’ve already posted photos of some of the pink and purple water lilies I photographed. Here are some photos of the white water lilies I saw.
First a group of water lilies – white petals with just a hint of pink at the base. Unfortunately, I forget to take a photo of the sign for this group – so I’m not sure what variety they are.

Next is a St. Louis Water Lily – a stunning white water lily. This one was much larger than many of the other water lilies I saw.

And finally, Virginalis Water Lily. I had fun photographing this flower, trying to get the reflection just right.

I’ll post the last few water lily photos in a few days.
