Amazon Water lily

The Amazon water lily, known as the Victoria Regia or Victoria Amazonica grows up to seven feet in diameter. They are the largest water lilies in the world. They blossom only two days a year, with beautiful white flowers. These flowers can grow up to one foot across. Shallow pounds and lagoons are the home to this type of plant. They float and cluster like coasters on the shore. With their huge leaves, they are so strong a person could stand on them.
