Victoria Amazonica

aka as Amazonian Giant Water Lily.

These leaves are just amazing. I've frequently seen birds bathing in them when they’re holding water after rainfall. They can apparently hold the weight of a small child, or when the leaves are fully grown, an adult weighing up to 70kgs. The giant lily flowers are also pretty neat.

In Mauritius, they are located in a large pond in Pamplemousses Garden.
