Aquatic Blooming Closeup Floral Issaquah Janet Horton Lake Sammamish State Park Large Lilypad Water Lily Waterlily Wetland

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the serene waters of Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah, Washington State, USA, a fragrant water lily (Nuphar polysepala) unfurls its large, white blossom, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the aquatic landscape. The close-up view reveals the intricate details of the lily's delicate petals, their edges delicately fringed with tiny hairs that give them a velvety texture. The lilypad, with its distinctive circular pattern, floats gently on the surface, reflecting the clear summer sky above. The fragrant water lily is a native of North America and is commonly found in shallow, still or slowly moving bodies of water. While its enchanting appearance is a sight to behold, it is important to note that it is considered a Class C noxious weed in this area. Its rapid growth and ability to form dense mats can outcompete native vegetation and disrupt the ecological balance of wetlands and other aquatic habitats. Despite its potential negative impact, the fragrant water lily remains a beloved subject for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Its large, showy flowers and soothing fragrance add a sense of tranquility and calm to any body of water, making it a cherished sight during the summer months. Whether admired from a distance or captured in a photograph, the fragrant water lily is a reminder of the natural wonders that can be found in even the most unexpected places. This stunning image was captured by the talented photographer, Janet Horton, who has a keen eye for capturing the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. Her ability to bring out the unique characteristics of her subjects, whether it be a fragrant water lily or a sweeping landscape, is truly remarkable. This photograph is a testament to her skill and dedication to preserving the beauty of nature through her art.
