A Victoria Lily Blossom. The pads on these Lilies can grow to 6 ft or more in diameter. They are native to the Amazon. Very susceptible to cold weather. The plant dies off as soon as the temperature drops below 72 degrees. This was taken at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Colorado. The water in the pond where these are located is dyed black to absorb more heat. It is a night bloomer so best time to photograph is early in the morning after sunrise.
