This is Hottonia inflata. Not exactly a floating-leaf aquatic: It is rooted in the soil, the stem & finely pinnatisect leaves are in the water column, but the inflorescences emerge, ready for pollinators. 📷1: iacomaner CCBYNC4. 📷2: Allen Gathman CCBYNCSA2 #aquatic #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Photo looking out over a pond studded with rosettes of feather-like leaves. From the center of each rosette emerges an erect, grossly inflated inflorescence bearing small white flowers.

I thought Hottonia palustris was spectacular, but inflata is just wow! Thanks for sharing ☺️

It's probably due to their adaptation to grow in (and on) the water, but the plants you are showing this and last week are 😍😍😍😍😍
