水蕹屬

The inflorescens of Aponogeton distachyos always amazes me. This year I managed to take again close ups of the flowers, some of which are under the water. In South Africa, its origin, the plant is edible and used in a special stew.

and this is how it all starts. More details about this plant in my previous post.

This water plant originates in South Africa, the leaves are edible and sold there in the markets. The unique flowers and leaves float.I do not know much aobut it, other than it is underwater except for the floating inflorescences and leaves. It grows in winter-rain areas of South Africa. In ponds that dry our in summertime, its tubers will sprout again after rain return. Aponogetonaceae is regarded as relatively primitive of the plant families.

I posted in the past several pics of this exquisite flower (Aponogeton distachyos). I really cannot get enough of it. The inflorescence is floating on water.

This is the end of flowering when they become fruits.

A beautiful (and tasty) South African aquatic plant.
