Some areas in Wisconsin received a lot of rain from the remnants of tropical storm Cristobal, causing some flooding in areas. Water-lilies probably didn’t mind the extra rain where other flowers were drenched and are waiting for the sun to return.

Since it seems that I have started a pond theme for this week with the frogs and dragonflies, I might as well continue the theme with a water lily. There may be a single water lily here and there or a solid mass of lilies covering the surface of a pond.
Water lilies create shade and protection for fish in landscape ponds, and they provide a gentle resting spot for frogs and dragonflies. They also bloom periodically dressing up the water surface.
