Water lilies at Kew Gardens, London, February 2016
I always enjoy the leaves of water lilies as much as the flowers, and the leaves actually serve a very useful purpose, providing shade for those below and reduce the growth of algae.
Hex colour ref: c0448f
A colourful note: red violet made its Crayola appearance in 1930, a busy year at the crayon company, including design changes as well as colour additions and removals. Red violet was a clearly new colour, sitting nicely between the two named colour groups, and they added blue violet too.

Scrumptious! You’ve been Photo shopping instead of Spring cleaning 🙂 🙂

Gorgeous. There is a Kew Gardens in the Queens section of New York. And I grew up in St. Albans, the one located in Queens, New York City. Seems that many neighborhoods in New York have the same names as the ones in your hometown.

I was surprised to hear that there was a St Albans over there, but then he is a famous martyr. And I didn’t know about Kew
Happy Easter!
