Water Lilies In The Sainsbury Building Weir Pools |
Water Lilies In The SNSC Pools |
Last autumn water lily, Nymphaea, were planted in to the pools beside the Sainsbury Building weir and in front of the new Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre (SNSC), see blog entry for the 7th September 2017 'Planting Water Lily'. All three varieties have settled in well to their watery surroundings and in late spring leaves began to appear, rising up from the depths to float on the surface of the water. More and more leaves have appeared and, over the last month, cup-shaped flowers have emerged, opening during the day, their beauty encouraging the pollinating insects, particularly the Damselflies, to take a closer look. Producing flowers until September there are a few more months left to enjoy the wonderful display of the floating flowers of the water lily.
