Beautiful, Dan! That first one looks like an Iris, but I have seen them amongst the "water" flowers, I didn't realize they are also called waterlilies. Thanks for the info.
Stay cool

I did some further research Carol. These are technically called "Japanese Water Iris" Iris ensata, the Japanese iris or Japanese water iris, formerly I. kaempferi, is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae, native to Japan, China, Korea and Russia, and widely cultivated as an ornamental plant. "Japanese iris" may also refer to I. sanguinea and I. laevigata, both native to Japan. Wikipedia
Beautiful set, here, Dan. The water lilies remind me of my regular trips to Paris and the Musee De L'Orangerie where Monet's Water Lilies series is on display.

Turns out I have a few that I didn't know I had.
I present the blue and yellow.
Thanks!

I like to know what I am shooting Carol. There are so many varieties of water plants at the Lily Pons Water Gardens I like to keep track.
I appreciate your gracious comments Carol!
Thanks!
