Water Lilies at Shurakuen Garden
Japan Gardens
A very simple post today, just some snaps of water lilies at the Shurakuen garden in Tsuyama, Okayama.
The main feature of Shurakuen is a very large body of water, much of which is covered in water lilies which tends to make a very green garden in summer.
I believe the floating greenery does die back in the autumn and winter and that would make the pond more reflective. I hope to find out in a couple of months on my next visit there in November

Shurakuen Garden Tsuyama
The garden was built in the mid 17th century under the orders of Nagatsugu Mori, who brought in a gardener from Kyoto to design it. It is said to be modeled on the garden at the Imperial palace in Kyoto.
