Nymphaea alba ssp occidentalis   White Water-lily C DD N

Nymphaea alba ssp occidentalis

This is Scottish version of White water lily which is very similar to the ssp alba of England however most of the water lily this far north west is ssp occidentalis but expert friends keyed this one out just in case. The trouble with many water plants is that the best flowers are nowhere near the shore so this maximum zoom shot in the drizzle was as good as could be managed.
