@naplesbotanical: Venture with us to the aquatic expanses within Naples Botanical Garden, where we catch a glimpse of this rare species, engaged in a time-tested ritual. It’s one that happens every August as summer draws to a close: #waterlilyweighoff26. The stakes could not be higher … fans of public gardens worldwide are watching! This year, our aquatic horticulturists prove that the natural world is full of surprises, with our Victoria Longwood hybrids holding a staggering 109 pounds, stretching 44 inches in diameter. But all is not as it seems, as once again, we were champions—yet only in our hearts. Thanks to @Denver Botanic Gardens for organizing the fourth annual Waterlily Weigh-Off—one of nature’s greatest spectacles.
