The lily terrace is dominated by a formal water feature:

The main feature of the Lily Terrace is a formal piece of water, rectangular save for a semicircular bay in the middle of the west side.  In this pond grow a number of hybrid water-lilies, ranging in colour from red, through pink and white, to pale yellow. *

I have only ever seen pink lilies before so I was a joy to see such delicate yellow blooms.

    So gracefully, serenely floating. A Lily-Water Ballet…

    I know it’s a long way from home for you, but the best water-lilies I have ever come across are at Wisley.
    Every colour you could wish for. :)
    RHS of course.
