Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

I took a new friend to the gardens - 14 acres of ponds with waterlilies, water hyacinths, lotus - to see what was left after a very vibrant summer growing season. The ponds were winding down and most of the blooms were gone. What did remain were a few lotus that pushed out the last bursts of color. There's one below.


Went to the back of the ponds and among the tropicals were the "pricklies" and they are known for pushing their flower buds through the lilypad. The vibrant pink flower sat on top of the deep green pad.
