I can almost smell the lily....I have that exact same flower and it is divine. I wish I had bought 10 plants.

It makes the light soft and over rides ambient light. The peach blossom was shot in noon sun at f16/60th and the dew was from a misting bottle. I always carry my dew with me!

The water lily was shot leaning over the side of a canoe trying not to drop the OM2 into the waters of Caddo Lake in east Texas. Light was nice to me that day. People have asked me if I were afraid of snakes in the swamp and I always say no 'cause the 'gators ate them all up.

Do know what the flower in the 4th photo is called? I've never seen one before, and I love how complex it looks.

The top one is a peach blossom, next is a lily, #3 is a hosta and of course the last is a Victoria water lily.
