The day after Independence Day, I was sitting by our pond watching or trying to find our fish. There is a water lily that has one day flowers that look like bright yellow starfish. I noticed there were two buds that would be opening and as I sat there they started to open. It took about 20 minutes for them to open and it was like timelapse photography in real time! It was a magnificent experience that I have never seen before. I guess when a flower only lasts one day it has to be quick.
