    I have ONE new bloom today. Let's see who can guess what it is. It's 4pm now (in Texas). I'll post the answer in 3 hours. Have fun!

    You all are TOO good!
    Yes... it's a water lily and Jerry nailed it! Lemon Mist.
    I was so surprised to see such a lovely bloom on a dreary day.
    Here's some more photos... with a visitor.

    And that silly bee went for a swim and then made his way back to the bloom.

    It's such a beautiful flower and your photos are terrific! Loved the shot of the paddling bee.

    Your water lily's very pretty! :D We've got a yellow water lily too, but I think that's called "Sulphurea".
