Spatterdock

 In shallow marsh water

Spatterdock is a native pond lily now in flower and is fairly common here in central Ontario where water moves slowly, as in this marsh.

AKA Cow Lily

  21. They are really very different looking lilies from what I've seen before. That is a brilliant yellow and the insects evidently love them a lot!

  22. They are beautiful! I have not seen a yellow water lily, but my hubby's cousin was telling us they had seen some. (It was somewhere I didn't have permission to go, so it did not stick with me where.)

  26. Never heard of this! Or, if it is a cow lily, I could say, I've never herd of it!

    But I like very much.
