Description
This lovely water lily was one of many on this pond. Sara P Duke Gardens sits on the Duke Campus in Durham North Carolina. I believe this is a Mayla Water Lily. This public garden originated in the early 1930s, when a modest flower garden was planted in a ravine at the edge of Duke University’s West Campus. In 1937 a donation from Mary Duke Biddle (in memory of her mother, benefactor Sarah P. Duke) helped transform the site into a 55-acre designed landscape containing a nearly twelve-acre Terrace Garden by landscape architect Ellen Shipman.
