Not a European species so unlikely N. alba.

Exactly, Nymphaea ‘Marliacea Albida’ i think but i am no expert on these waterlilies.

Neither am I, but N. x marliacea is an umbrella term for horticultural hybrids involving American and Asian species.

My wife's speaks Spanish like a native speaker and sometimes translates Dutch phrases in Spanish for me (in the hope some of it sticks). It's remarkable how many phrases are similar. Nice image, Paco.

Scuttling back and forth across the airspace over Norway in pursuit of more elusive aquatic plants ...

This shows what a 'rolling shutter'can do to a turbo-prop engine :)

The Norwegian phrase is 'grønne fingre'. Translates directly as 'green fingers'. Which obviously is shared with every other European nation?

This boat owner overdid it, though. Too much green fingers at play here :)

Excellent images, and if I keep seeing fish'd photos I am going to have to buy my first fish-eye lens. 8)

PS How did the US get "green thumb" from "green fingers". I am assuming that green thumb is derived from green fingers of course.  ;)
