~ Nymphaea Victoria Amazonica
The most interesting thing about this flower is the large leaves that it creates.
The leaves can grow up to 18 inches in size and can hold up to 300 pounds, the leaves are flat before growing rims at the edge of the leaf. The leaves are strong and stiff thanks to the strong bottom of the leaves. The bottoms are covered with spines to help support the ribs. The bottom of the leaf is maroon in color.
