We created this contest to coincide with the Water Lily contest going on at the McKee Botanical Garden this month in July. We were surprised at the number of submissions and believe this to be a great contest to bring back next year. Thank you to our wonderful sponsors and to all that submitted and voted. It is very nice to see everyone interacting and sharing photos in the community.
