The image is a close-up of a single purple water lily in a pond. The flower is in the center of the image, with its petals spread out in a star-like shape. The petals are a deep purple color with a yellow center, and the center is a lighter shade of purple. The stem of the flower is long and thin, and it is visible in the foreground. In the background, there are several green lily pads floating on the surface of the water. The water is still and reflects the colors of the flowers and leaves. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the flower.
