17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World

this is a photograph of the water hyacinth, a plant characteristic of polluted waters. How does such a beautiful flower come from polluted waters? Perhaps this is the duality of life, good and evil, joy and sadness, beauty and ugliness, etc. It is the duality of life.
