Finalist – A Short Beautiful Life – There are 58 species of water lilies but only one kind found in South Africa. During the day, it opens only
in sunshine and closes at night. The flowers are pollinated by bees and beetles, then drawn back
underwater. The seeds ripen, fl oat along streams
and fi nally sink into the mud where they germinate
– a short but beautiful life. The lilies were in bloom
at Skukuza in the Kruger Park during our last visit.
