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!

Happy Thursday! This morning we have a lone Victoria Flower. The Victoria amazonica genus name was so given in honor of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and the species name comes from the water lily being indigenous to the waters of the Amazon river basin.
