I'm a sucker for water lilies. Whenever I see them I search for an example that is free of ragged leaves, discoloured flowers and intrusive insects. Recently I came across an example that isn't perfect but is as close as I'm likely to get to that flawless state. It was in the ornamental pond at Bathurst Park, Lydney, Gloucs and was a rather fetching tint of pink rather than the usual white.
