Cal, I love the whole shot you shared. All the different colors of the reflected plants are so intriguing. As for being 'blue challenged', I expect each of us have eyes that respond to the color spectrum in our own unique way. Viva la difference! Ambient color temperatures (time of day, sun, shade, clouds, etc.) shift colors, too. I say, go with what looks good to you.
I love the idea of bees using the water lettuce as little lifeboats from which to drink. We forget that a number of insects need access to water, just like the birds. And while I'm not a fan of mosquitos, at least they serve as food for other creatures.
