If that color is true then I already love it. The one at the test garden is very pretty but it is quite large and loosse for a bouquet. How does this one compare size wise with Pink Martini? I don't think I want one bigger then PM. I also like the deeper gold and orange on this one.

This one is a bit deep for a show waterlily. The camera does deepen the color a bit. I am growing the one that is in the test garden and I will try to get a picture of them side by side. I noticed today that it is blooming.

My iPhone 6 just does not want to show HH Serenity as orange , always makes it look pink under almost any lighting , this shot I took minutes ago seems to be as close I can get without using any tricks as I do not know any

Yes, this one appears to be an orange waterlily. Here is a head on picture of it. It is a first year seedling and I need to mark it for retention.
I like this one!

I decided that I was not going to buy a new expensive camera this year and found a used DSLR of the same model as my old one that is broken. The price was right and it is in very good shape albeit on the edge of obsolescence. I have several lenses for it and it came with one too. It can take some outstanding pictures. However, the failure rate for poor pictures is very high as much of the success comes from using manual settings rather than auto settings. My point and shoot camera that I have been using takes a very high percentage of good shots when set on auto. Anyway, here is a shot taken with my "new" old camera. There are at least 20 others that were terrible but one really good one seems to make up for it.

Lovely - It cool that it looks like it is just floating there - no stem visible

A ray of sunshine appeared on the center of this seedling dahlia. That ray of light probably made the flower look a bit better than it is.
