It looks like if it had fire. Someone saw a similar plant - but in the water - in the movie Finding Nemo. Its blue colour is beautiful, it shines.
If we were butterflies, we would go to this flower.

Thank you!
Lovely, simply lovely.
Great Pics. Those egypten Lotus are so "macrogenic" :)
Gives new meaning to the term inner glow. Very nice Nuwan.
Thanks all !
Gorgeous spotting Nuwan!
Lovely picture Nuwan. It actually looks like my tattoo and I mean that in a wonderful way. The symbolism of the water lily beginning it's existence from the bottom of a pond surrounded by mud and darkness and then growing towards the light to soak in the sun. Many of us that have gone through "dark" periods and have grown and moved to the" light" and start to thrive think very highly of the humble yet stunning Water Lily! Thank you again for such incredible photos
Beautiful
Artistic spotting!
Nice pictures Nuwan; makes one feel like smelling the colorful flower =)
