"Like different cities, no two ponds are alike, but many contain the water lily. Moored to a thick rootstalk by a sturdy stem, lily pads are custom built for floating, with a water-repellent surface. The broad leaves spread flat on the water to soak up maximum sunshine."
—From "Life Around a Lily Pad," January 1980, National Geographic magazine
