@U.C.: I am in no way a flower expert, but I'm pretty sure those are daffodils. 
They are also pretty flowers.
The bokeh in the second is very interesting. Asymmetric.

@MDoc9523: very subtle colours and textures.
Some Narcissus with the MP 100/2 on 5D2Very nice - edgy. It looks very bright did you use a ND filter?
No, didn't use any kind of filter. I took the pictures a few hours before sunset, so the Sun was pretty low.
I just pulled and pushed some sliders in LR to make them look brighter (+1ev and and more edgy (more contrast, darker blacks/shadows, a bit sharpening and more clarity mostly did this).
@about the Daffodil vs. Narcissus discussion: in The Netherland the flower is called Narcis, so I looked it up (using the same wiki posted above) to be sure about the name.
@ucphotog: very typical cat's eye effect, was surprised by it too. Didn't see it before with the Zeiss. Maybe because I don't use it much with highlights in the background.

Narcissus vs Daffodil --> Latin vs common English name (with weird etymology).

The last one must be Water-lily.In the pool of South-EastAsia both Lotus and Water-lily have beautiful
flowers, but they are different from flower, seed, leave, trunk and root.Lotus
gives many profits from flowers (it has aroma), seeds, leave and roots.Lotus flower may become vietnamese national
flower and Vietnam-airline has Lotus flower as an official symbol.From ancient to now Buddism followers believe Lotus is a Holy flower.

Yes, and they also eat it in many S.E.asian countries. Even grow it like an crop. And I see them in every color also

In Japan and as the written story/stories of "Buddha" read it's just a flower that Siddartha Gautama enjoyed. Nothing sacred or holy tho.

I would probably call them holy or sacred in Thailand where I stay. Every temple have lotus flowers. And nearly every person going into a temple to pray and give offerings will bring lotus flowers. Often 10-20 people sit outside a temple just to sell the flowers. And sometimes you can see people go down on their knees in parks in front of the lotus flowers

Lotus plays a great role in spiritual life of most S.E.A countries and Buddism uses the image of this beautiful flower to it's religion.Lotus is used for worship at home or in pagoda and for funeral, in Vietnam, never bring Lotus to your new girlfriend or wedding.
