I noticed the American Water Lotus were blooming in a nearby lake that we canoe and go fishing in. So, today we went to see them. We also did a little fishing, and my wife caught a nice sunfish that we released. The two swans that we saw in late June were still there. They don't appear to have ever tried to hatch the eggs we saw strewn about on the island. I still think that perhaps they are a young pair, not yet ready to raise a family. We also saw Water-lilies. But it was the Lotus that were spectacular at this time of the year.
