Water Willow

Not at the greenhouse or in a garden at home! This is plant growing in the water at Cedar Lake where I took my mid-workout water break. For quite some time, when I was first rowing on the water, rowing was more of a long photo-opp than exercise. But now that it’s exercise, there are generally only three times photos are possible: at the beginning, at the half-done water break and at the end. I do exercise some discretion at the water break time, but I am now paying more attention to the flora around the lake…
