These flowers of the Fragrant Water Lilly attract a variety of insects including dragonflies and damselflies. Balck & White imagery gives a somewhat eerie look to these beautiful pond flowers.

This gorgeous red Dahlia was growing in the Dahlia planting area of the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, Long Island. The bright sun and subtle shadows on the opposing petals enhances the coloration of the flower.

These reddish-purple Flowers have an even deeper purple and gold center. Not only do they catch and reflect the sun's rays, they seem to generate a brilliance making the petals look like colored leather.

Like a bow and ribbon on a gift wrapped present, this pink and white flower stands out due to the odd but distinctive shape of the petals.
