My pal Bill says they are actually a “pickerelweed.”

Beautiful photo’s Spike!
While the leaves do look very lily-like the plant is actually a pickerelweed, native to N America. 🙂

Well, who knew? They are beautiful and they do grow IN the water but they don’t look like any of the other lilies, so I guess I should not be surprised.

My first thought was water hyacinths, but on checking i found i was wrong – what a surprise! 😉

I don’t think water hyacinths grow this far north. Of course, with the climate changing, THAT could change too. But so far, they are busy clogging up the waterways in the south.

All true…. but they do look quite pretty in flower. ‘Tis a conundrum.

They are different, too. These are the most elegant water lilies I’ve ever seen growing wild. I guess THEY like the heat!

I’d love to be able to grow tall and elegant for liking the heat!
