After I had repotted the plant, it took several weeks for these three beautiful water lilies to emerge together. I appreciate the process of sowing, pruning and flowering. Apart from adding fertilizer, time and patience are necessary ingredients. The process cannot be rushed! In its own time, it will bear much fruit! This morning, I took several photographs from different angles, including macro shots. If you would to view them, I shall be happy to share them with you. By the early afternoon, it was raining cats and dogs. Naturally, the flowers "closed up". Will I see the flowers again the next day? Probably not. What lessons can we draw from this? Learn to appreciate the beauty that is around us today. What you've got today, you may lose it altogether when the unexpected harsh rains come! Would you like to share your thoughts?

Thanks for your comments. Yes, we really need to "Stop, look and listen more." ("more" is mine).
