We don't have them naturally in Erie, but if/when you get back up to Erie, you should go kayaking in the lagoons of Presque Isle. You will see all sorts of water lilies, other water plants, and lots of creatures.*kchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806636429224801563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-71152540860421860752011-07-23T18:38:22.982-04:002011-07-23T18:38:22.982-04:00Wow, I'm orginally from Florida, but I've ...Wow, I'm orginally from Florida, but I've never been here.. it's beautiful!LEAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668405731970250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-61281087864792432272011-07-19T22:25:23.281-04:002011-07-19T22:25:23.281-04:00Such gorgeous pictures!!

That's almost worth the trip to Florida by itself. <br /><br />Trivia for the day: Waterlilies and lotus flowers look very similar but have a few important differences; the most noticeable being that waterlilies float on the surface of the water while lotus flowers are emergent, meaning the flowers and leaves come up from under the water to the surface. Just learned that last week!<br /><br />I don't know if I can pick a single picture as my favorite but those lily pads don't even look REAL!
