Showerhead Lily

I have no idea what kind of pond lily this is, but this is it without the lovely ivory petals. I'm expecting water to come out of it at any point! Here is a photo of it with petals: http://365project.org/darylo/didn-t-make-cut/2013-06-16

If anyone knows what it is, please let me know! :)

[Hilde-Katrin Fjørtoft]

Awesome shot! It kind of look like it has 15 eyes :)

[Rohini Gupta]

I think its a lotus. Beautiful shot, love the details and the color.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Splendid shot! What a terrific find!

[Taffy]

Oh my -- it looks just like a cute little showerhead you'd buy at Bed, Bath, and Beyond!

[👑 AnaZad]

Definitely looks like a showerhead.

[Kate Goring]

I see an alien but I totally get the showerhead. Fabulous shot. Fav.

[Chandru Jain]

Pretty flower. Looks like enbedded eyes within it! Awesome!

[Laurie]

That is absolutely amazing looking! Perfect name for it! Fav!

[Amrita]

I think these are lotus seeds and they are edible! :-)

[GS*Anemone]

Lol before I even saw the title I was thinking it looked like a shower head

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Another fav! It is an optical illusion! The little circles seem to spin about. This is incredible!

[Lisa Stein]

Such an unusual looking plant. Great shot of it.

[Daryl O'Hare]

@amrita21 OMGosh! That makes total sense! In the botanical gardens, there is the "edible" section--so it makes sense that if this is edible, it would be there. The Atlanta Botanical gardens are spectacular! Can't wait to revisit Thursday. Thanks so much for cluing me in on this one! :)

[Simply Amanda]

Very cool and different looking!

[Dianne]

I agree with Jo! This is fab. It kind of looks like a strange alien FAV
