The Water Lily in The Davids' pond is appropriate for today.  The pond, which once had fish, is full now of just water and the Water Lilies.  Something is going on with the lilies that doesn't seem healthy.  The Lily itself seems healthy, but it's the leaves that are blotched.  Some of the leaves have black splotches, and I can't determine if there is something that can be done to restore their health.  The question about where beauty is found and what makes something beautiful is unstated but clearly an issue with these plants.  The Hibiscus is blooming on a shrub at Parkview.  The other two flowers are blooming near the fountain at The Plaza de Panama in Balboa park.
