| Water Lily and Lily Pads Japanese Garden Washington Park Arboretum, Seattle, Washington |
It seems like water lilies and lily pads (or lotus flowers) are required in Japanese gardens. This first image shows a bloom, some buds and plenty of lily pads. Negative space between the pads is important here.

There is more negative space in this picture of two lily pads. It feels more serene with fewer lily pads in the photo.
