Nuphar polysepala, Rocky Mountain pond-lily in Smith Lake (Athabascan: Tr'exwghodegi Troth Yeddha' Bena'). Taken last night. In my Alaska Wildflower Guide: www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildf... #alaska #wildflowers #bloomscrolling

Close-up of a yellow Rocky Mountain pond-lily (Nuphar polysepala) emerging from calm water, its round flower bud partly open to reveal a textured central disk. The thick green stem rises above large, flat, green lily pads that float on the water’s surface, some with ragged edges where they have been eaten. The water reflects a pale blue sky, with faint ripples and the soft outlines of more lily pads in the background.
