Rare Bloom

I was lucky enough today to brave a trail peppered with poison ivy to take a look and North America's largest wildflower! Boasting magnificent white petals measuring an average of eight inches across, orange seed cones and massive leaves, the lotuses ? though native to the area ? are an endangered plant. The lotuses have acorn-sized seeds favored by woodchucks and other animals. Their leaves provide shade and cover for fish that inhabit the waters below the bed.

Happy Sunday Indeed!!
