American White Waterlily (Nymphaea odorata)

The American white waterlily (Nymphaea odorata) is native to North America. The flowers open during the day, close at night, and produce a strong fragrance.

David planted them in the pond at the southern end of his property. I could hear the frogs. I kept hoping one or two would jump up to sit on a lilypad. No such luck.
