#HHG10: Enchanting Water Lilies - A Haiku
There is a garden in the pond, like beauty pageants they just float gracefully pleasing the eyes. Once in a while, they move in such a poise manner when the puff of wind blows or when the water waves, like dancers whose beauty moves in motion gracefully. For decades the water lily (Nymphaea) has been casting spells to humans, enchanting, captivating and mesmerizing. The beauty ascends from the bottom of the water rise gracefully, flawless blooms of beauty in tranquility. The flowers rise side by side in a charming manner that attracts buzzing friends like bees and dragonflies that will be visiting these gorgeous beauties making it a perfect photos that are awesomely picturesque. While water lilies may seem fragile, these blossoms are tough and excellent in various weather conditions. Water lilies can grow well in any weather. Tropical water lilies bloom in exotic colors and have bigger flowers. Under the moonlight, the flowers are vibrantly shining in electric colors.
Here's my Haiku for this exotic flowers that grow garden in the pond.
Water Lilies

Beauty in tranquility
Pink, purple and white

Some people eat this flower too as vegetable. Not the leaves of it, the lower part of flower.
Hi @aaarif, that's so nice to know. What is your country? Oh and it can actually be eaten? that's a new general knowledge for me. How do they cook it? Make soup perhaps?
@ainie.kashif ,
I am from Bangladesh. The lower long part that remain under the water can be eater as curry not soup. But i think as it used for making curry it can be used for soup too and that will be new recipe.
Here is the curry:
