Royal water lily fascinates St Louis visitors at Missouri Garden
The Victoria Reina or royal water lily of the Amazon has drawn large crowds at the Missouri Botanical Garden this season. It blooms rarely with leaves six feet across, buoyant and capable of supporting a baby on its pad. A local gardener described the leaf as a dry boat and a baby was placed on it to test the buoyancy. The pads continue to grow after blossoms fade. In another report from Wisconsin fires, 12-year-old Freda Johnson carried her infant brother Joe to safety through flames and water, earning praise as a heroic rescuer.
