"More than anything these lilies are beautiful and an incredibly hard to culture gift from Damon. There must have been generations upon generations of plant husbandry to achieve the mirror-like finish on the lilypads and the flowers are delicate and beautiful, cascading the images of the reflection throughout.
I found Damon to be a man that made his feelings clear through means other than words. I wonder if Calliope realises this gift seems intended to reflect the thing Damon found most beautiful?"
from Hippofilius' field journal
These waterlilies, floating in a wide bowl, were a birthday present to Calliope from Damon.
The leaves of these lilies form perfect mirrors.
