In Florida we are so fortunate to be able to grow Tropical Water Lilies. Hardy Water Lilies are the most common types sold throughout the U.S. but they do not perform as well in Florida as the tropical types. Some tropical water lilies like this all time favorite 'Red Flare' are night bloomers which means they open in the twilight hours for your evening garden stroll and then close by 11 AM unless it is cloudy. Then they stay open all day. The foliage is dark burgundy. 

The Iphone has an APP called Color Splash that transforms pictures by converting them to grayscale then coloring in areas you touch with your finger. This is easy and helps accentuate the stories told with images and it is fun too. Ponds add interest and sound from fountains. You can add destinations and focal points in any garden with a simple water feature.
