Brasenia schreberi to botanists. We've seen plants in Pine bogs but never have photographed it in bloom. Wikipedia says it blooms one day as a male flower, releasing pollen, goes back underwater overnight, emerges second day as female flower and recives pollen, goes back underwater that night and the cycle is done.
No wonder we don't see the flowers...
There's a pond down near the shore covered with the plants but never any blooms when we're there.
Anyone got ideas on how/where/when to se flower to be photographed?
