waterlilies
Floating aquatic blooms
Waterlilies are aquatic plants with large floating leaves and showy flowers that grow in ponds and slow-moving water.
The round leaves, called lily pads, rest on the surface while roots anchor in mud below.
Monet's paintings made waterlilies iconic in art: The museum has three of his waterlilies.
Also spelled water lilies.
