I 'visited' one well kept secret in the Raub district - Casabrina in Sang Lee village...it is a beautiful Balinese villa perched on top of the hill with a commanding view of the rolling hills with total privacy. What actually interests me was the collection of waterlilies (nymphea) which is uncommon in this part of the world and of course, the magnificent Victoria reginae from the Amazon, right here, 20 minutes from my house (and I didn't know it existed!)...
a green frog on the lily pad
huge leaves on the pond
spiny undersides
perfect pink bloom, not the Victoria
another
and another
a tropical variant
Heart-shaped young leaf - allusion to a bleeding heart? Nature has its own ways...
another young leaf
a blue dragonfly resting
