The glowing golden centre and the radiating violet-blue petals belong to a very fine specimen of Nymphaea violacea (Water Lily), a very common Australian native water plant.
The photograph was made as I was sitting on a little jetty over a large pond on the property of a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend at Kundabung, between Kempsey and Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on a lovely autumn day.
