Description
White waterlily, Nymphaea odorata ssp. odorata taken at a lake in Rockefeller State Park Preserve near my home in Westchester County, New York.
I always thought all waterlilies were tropical plants until I discovered these right near home. This species, the white water lily, also called the American water-lily, the fragrant waterlily, or the sweet or sweet-scented water lily, is indigenous to New York state where these gorgeous wildflowers bloom every August and into September.
The leaves of this aquatic native plant float on the water. Its aquatic nature is why this beautiful wildflower is named Nymphaea, which means nymph.
