What the Water Lily Flower and Leaves on a Pond Show
The open flower stands at the center of the pond scene, resting above a large leaf. Numerous other rounded water lily leaves spread across the surrounding water, including a broad leaf to the left. Small droplets appear on the pond surface, adding a quiet sense of water and movement without introducing animals or other plants.
Little-Known Facts About Water Lilies
Water lily leaves float because flexible stalks connect them to stems rooted in the pond bottom. Their broad surfaces capture sunlight, while openings on the upper side of the leaves allow gas exchange above the water. A natural notch in each leaf provides a path for the stalk and helps distinguish its familiar shape.
