watery wednesday: reeds
http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/
I went to the Winter garden at the Auckland Domain. There is a formal courtyard with a pond with statues and fountains. When I see these reeds, they bring me back to when I was a child in tropical Borneo. These reeds grow wild in our creeks. Here in temperate Auckland, they are ornamental plants.

Hi Ann thanks for the visits. I ought to come here more often.
I know this plant. I'm familiar with it. Seeing this makes me long for my birth country.
You have gone to Penang Botanical Garden. You may have or have not seen the pond which is full of lily plants.
It is as beautiful as yours.
That's beautiful.
Beautiful watery shot, Ann!
That is a lovely view of the water and plant, Ann.
Have a wonderful week.
Very pretty Ann.
Hello Ann, same here I remember this plant along the creeks and canals. Happy Thursday!
Watery Wednesday
This is a pretty reed, and I'm glad it brings back happy memories for you.
Hi Ann, Isn't it great to have such wonderful memories?????? The reeds are so pretty... Great picture for Watery Wed.... Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
What a lovely picture, and I like the reflection!
Ciao Ann, I like the magic of the images and memories that give us emotions!
The reeds are lovely, Ann. I adore the lily pads too. I don't see many water plants in my area.
Regarding your question about the orange flowers on the barrel cactus, yes they are edible. :)
really pretty reeds, i can't imagine them growing wild
lovely composition here, Ann.
Very Zen looking. I love it!
What beautiful shadows those reeds cast! Thanks for stopping by my Ruby Tuesday plant! Enjoy the day.
