A Boat of A Leave - Royal Water Lily

The flowers of royal water lily are large and beautiful. The diameter of the flower could be as many as 30 cm and is much bigger than those of common lotus. The flower has more than 60 pedals and rank orderly within the sepal. Generally, a flower could blossom for three days; and it usually opens at dusk and closes in the morning; besides, the color of the flower changes in different times. At dusk of the first day, the buds are as quiet as a virgin, the flower is milk white, and would begin to open at about 19 to 20 p.m.; the flower would open up entirely within half an hour; the flower is as white as jades, and the smell it gives off is strong and fragrant, like that of orchards; the aroma usually attracts many insects, which fly to and fro in-between the stamen and the necking to pollinate.

The flower closes in the next morning and would open up again at dusk, and the pedals of the flower also change from white into pink; when the flower opens up for the third time, the color of the pedals would become further deeper, and would change from pink into dark red. The flower would wither away when it changes into purple. The flower would then sink into the water to have seeds and to give offspring. When its fruits are ripen, there would be as many as 500 to 600 seeds in it, which are as big as beans; the seeds are rich in eligible starch, thus, the local folks often call it "corn in water".
