Water Lily in a Floating Rosette
Seen from above, the large open water lily forms the center of the pond scene. Layers of petals radiate outward like a rosette, while rounded floating leaves spread across the moving surface. Tall reeds rise in groups along the right side and upper part of the water, surrounding the blossom with wetland vegetation.
Water Lily Facts
Water lily leaves float because their long flexible stalks connect them to roots anchored in the mud below. Tiny openings for gas exchange are mainly found on the upper surface of the leaves, where they remain exposed to the air rather than submerged.
