Fragrant White Waterlily

Nearing the end of their blooming season a few fragrant white water lilies still adorn the lakeside. The scientific name Nymphaea odorata has an interesting derivation:
"The large white flowers are often fragrant, hence the specific epithet “odorata”. “Nymphaea” derives from the attractive flowers, which are suggestive of the mythological Greek nymphs, beautiful supernatural female beings thought to inhabit glades and springs."
