Happy Wednesday! This morning we have a water lily from the Nymphaea genus (possibly Nymphaea odorata) from Patuxent Research Refuge in Laurel, Maryland. Water lilies were a source of inspiration for Claude Monet, maybe this one can help inspire everyone to get through the rest of the work week. Hang in there, it’s almost the weekend!
