Thank you all! I really love sitting and watching them open when having my coffee in the morning. It's so cool watching them open right before my eyes. (this one was a 33 minute lapse, 222 frames, 1 frame every ten seconds boiled down to a 25frames per second video)

Added a time lapse video of the water lily opening. Hope you all enjoy, it's my first attempt at something like this, and I realized after that I should have turned off the IS function on my lens. Let me know what you think. :-)
