At this time of year, the mighty Maitland River trickles through town. The almost still water makes it perfect for Yellow Pond Lilies. Their floating leaves are called lily pads. Frogs love to hang out at the lily pads. When we arrived we saw a frog swimming around, but I think we scared it away.
There are very few water lilies that are native to Canada. We have been lucky this week because we have seen two! We saw the White or Sweet Water Lily on a hike with our granddaughter. She was more interested in the turtles😄 It is very different than the Yellow Pond Lily—can you see the differences? Exciting times in Wildflower Adventuring. You are Always in my Prayers.
