SPADDER DOCK


Spadder Dock (Nuphar advena)

Observation
I observed this plant on 17 September 2011 while attending the Wildlife Conservation Festival at the John Heinz National Refuge Center in Philadelphia, PA. The plant was found living in the water near the bridge. Its leaves were green with some red undertones. Amazingly, none of the leaves appeared to be water logged. As I observed a little longer, I noticed that there was some duck weed floating in very close proximity.
