Yellow Pond Lily








Pond Lilies are beginning to grow. The leaves or pads are attached to long stalks so that they will float with the rise and fall of water levels.  These lily pads provide resting places for insects like dragonflies and shelter for many aquatic insects. They may even be incorporated into the nest of a Red-necked Grebes.
