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.
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.
I never saw waterlilies like that before – they’re really lovely.

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

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!
