Pygmy Water Lily

Pygmy Water Lily (Nymphaea tetragona) is a perennial herb that thrives in full sun and water environments, with light to heavy soil preferences. Native to regions such as Alaska, Alberta, Altay, Amur, Assam, Bangladesh, British Columbia, Buryatiya, and other parts of Asia and North America, this plant is known for its edible roots and seeds. One distinctive feature of the Pygmy Water Lily is its small size; it typically grows in shallow water and can be recognized by its delicate, floating leaves and white or pink flowers.
