Each lily blooms for only threedays, opening in the morning and closing in theafternoon. On the first day, it releases a sweetsmellingfluid to attract pollen-laden insects thatare washed clean and fertilize the stigmas. On thesecond and third days, the flower releases pollenwhich is carried away by insects that visit theplant. Then, the plant's stalks recoil, pulling theflower under water where its seeds mature andare released into the lake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout North America, many First Nationscommunities used the water lily's roots, leaves andflowers for medicinal purposes. Even the rhizomes,young leaves and lower buds were eaten and theseeds were fried or ground into flour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis intriguing beauty also caught the attentionof Brother Marie-Victorin (1885-1944), one ofCanada's greatest botanists and founder ofMontreal's historic Botanical Garden. He includedthe water lily in one of the 2,800 illustrations inhis book Flore laurentienne-a monumental workthat remains a cornerstone reference in universitybotany courses to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLotus of the north\u003cbr\u003eThe water lily is related to the lotus, hailed theloveliest of flowers with powerful symbolismin cultures throughout the world. Much of thissymbolism is attributed to the flower's abilityto emerge from the depths of muddy waters tobring life and beauty to the surface-an imagethat inspired the ancient Egyptian myth of a worldcreated out of moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40784855433291,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.002628 - FLOWER.2010","price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_360cb32f-d828-47ac-9077-fa29f61d563f.jpg?v=1717052646","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2010-d20-water-lily-wildflower-pf-1_009oz_-_9999-flower-2010","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
