Water Lily Flower and Bud on the Pond
A fully opened water lily stands on a slender stalk above the pond’s surface. Beside it, a smaller closed bud rises near a large round leaf floating on the water. Soft ripples pass around the plant, showing the flower, bud, stem, and leaf as connected parts of a freshwater plant’s growth.
Facts about water lilies on a pond
Water lilies grow from stems rooted in mud beneath calm or slow-moving freshwater. Their broad leaves contain air spaces that help them float where they can receive sunlight. A flower bud travels upward before opening at or just above the surface, and many species open and close according to light and temperature.
