Rain has come down and come down and come down. We've received 9" in the past 75 days - and most of that, I'm sure, was within the past two weeks when it has rained nonstop.
This water lily always seem such a patient plant. All I see, for months on end, are the green leaves resting on top of the water. And then one day I look up to see this beautiful yellow bloom. Coming between rain showers it is a very welcome sight.
