Waterlily in KEW

 

https://www.kew.org/kew-gardens/whats-in-the-gardens/waterlily-house

This small, square glasshouse was designed specifically to showcase the giant Amazon waterlily (Victoria amazonica) - a natural wonder of the age.

It was completed in 1852 and is now a listed building, brimming with aquatic plants and tropical fruit.

Its circular pond spans over 10 metres. We use fish and dye the water black (using a harmless food dye) to stop algae growth. It also makes prettier reflections!
