The lily pads on this picture are so huge and stable that small persons like children can sit on them without drowning. But I was also really impressed by their nice green and red colors.

The picture has been taken in July in a big zoo that also has a great botanical garden. The zoo is named “Wilhema” and is located in Stuttgart (South Germany) where I live. I was not too interested in seeing animals in cages, but I enjoyed the botanical garden with all its exotic plants.
