    Here in Brazil we call it Vitória Régia, and our indigenous people have a legend for its origin! It was known that the moon god (Jaci) had love encounters with the prettiest indigenous girls; after these dates, the chosen girls were transformed into stars. Naiá was a girl who fell in love for Jaci; one day she saw the moon's reflection on a river and got drown trying to kiss it. Jaci got touched after seeing this and as a merciful act, transformed Naiá's body into Victoria Amazonica, a river star :)

    Not all water lilies require constant warm water. There are some water lilies that grow in ponds in Yellowstone. These ponds are frozen over for more than 6 months every year but just a few weeks after they finally thaw out the leaves of hundreds of lilies are covering the surface. Moose are often seen in Yellowstone's lily ponds eating the leaves of the plants. Wolves are sometimes seen near lily ponds hunting moose and other animals that feed on the lilies. I'm not sure how the water lilies survive under the ice for so long. I'm guessing their seeds and possibly their roots survive the winter at the bottom of the pond and grow back in the spring

They got their name because of the distinct and unique sound they make during mating. Their jaw is strong enough to tear down a chunk of your flesh. Because of their aggressive nature, and the fact they're being hunted in some areas; not many research are done on them. I would love to learn more about them because one is currently living outside my kitchen croaking each night.

It's also one of the only known examples of Facultative CAM while also using C4 photosynthesis. As a succulent, and is a great source of a lot of nutrients!
