Man-Eating Lillypad
April 29, 2004
Shinjuku Gyoen, Tokyo, Japan
Well, it's not quite man-eating, but it's big and more than a little scary-looking. From one of the greenhouses at Shinjuku Gyoen, on Midori no Hi (Greenery Day). One thing I like about this photo is the way that the reflection of the flower is in focus (toward the center bottom).
Compare to the more
conventional lillypads at Showa Park.
