Waterlily still blooming in mid-October
Original: Who'd have thought half way through October and we still have a waterlily in bloom even as the leaves are dying back in
A gardener has shared photos of a waterlily flowering in their pond in mid-October, even as surrounding leaves die back ahead of winter. The late bloom is being shared as a pleasant seasonal surprise, with other users enjoying the close-up shots of the flower holding on well past the usual summer season.
Why now: An unusually late waterlily bloom amid autumn dieback strikes people as a charming seasonal oddity worth sharing.
