1975

Bianca Lavies

"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
