lilly pads

sierraketchum25 — 2024-10-07 20:18:38 UTC

i noticed the large lilly pads that a man seems to be harvesting or just collecting the flowers

lily pads

erinrichards25 — 2024-10-07 20:19:24 UTC

I first see the big lily pads in the water. It looks like it is in a pond. I also noticed the man.

flower

sierraketchum25 — 2024-10-07 20:20:47 UTC

the man seems to be in waders and also seems to be opening up a water lilly to be able to see the flower in its best form

waders

erinrichards25 — 2024-10-07 20:21:03 UTC

I did not notice that he was wearing waders for being in the water. I missed that at first glance because I was looking at the lily pads.

man

sierraketchum25 — 2024-10-07 20:21:44 UTC

I think the man is harvesting the water lillies either for some kind of job or a production

checking on flower

erinrichards25 — 2024-10-07 20:22:36 UTC

I think that he is maintaining the wellness of the flower because it looks like it is in the center of everything and it is very important.

Person

kalebhenderso28 — 2024-10-07 20:23:18 UTC

i noticed the person in-between the lily pads in the water.

The man

sophiaison28 — 2024-10-07 20:23:25 UTC

I first saw the guy who was opening the flower. I also noticed the lily pads.

I first saw lily pads and a man that's holding something

peytonsavage28 — 2024-10-07 20:23:37 UTC

a man holding a flower

paytongreenber28 — 2024-10-07 20:24:08 UTC

I first saw the man holding a large flower when I first looked at the image.

cheyennehernande27 — 2024-10-07 20:24:14 UTC

there is a person in the top right corner

person

kalebhenderso28 — 2024-10-07 20:24:30 UTC

i did not notice the woman in the background in the top right corner.

Plant names

isaactaylor25 — 2024-10-07 20:24:45 UTC

sticking out of the water there are name displays that give more information about the plant behind them. This can imply that this photo could possibly be taken in a plant garden or outdoor attraction.

the plants

hiramwilder28 — 2024-10-07 20:25:35 UTC

I noticed the large floating plants. They might be a type of lilypad

the signs in the water

paytongreenber28 — 2024-10-07 20:25:38 UTC

i saw the signs when i enlarged the image but they look like they labeled the different plants there

checking the pond

kalebhenderso28 — 2024-10-07 20:25:51 UTC

i think the man in trying to check the pond and make sure that everything is working nice and the flowers and lily pads are alive.

giant Lilly pad

joshuawade26 — 2024-10-07 20:26:42 UTC

the first thing i saw was the giant Lilly pads all over the photograph.

The people in the background

sophiaison28 — 2024-10-07 20:26:44 UTC

I didn't see the people behind the trees when I first saw the photo. I also noticed the fence around the pond.

the plaque

hiramwilder28 — 2024-10-07 20:26:48 UTC

i later saw the plaque that might be talking about the flower or the large pads

Log

isaactaylor25 — 2024-10-07 20:26:53 UTC

towards the back of the image there is a log barrier that could be placed there to hold the water exhibit in.

Lilly pads and the man

paytoneygabroa28 — 2024-10-07 20:27:15 UTC

I first noticed the big lilly pad that the man seems to be around, and the man is opening the flower.

studying/checking plants

hiramwilder28 — 2024-10-07 20:27:39 UTC

I think the man is checking on or studying the plants, and in this photo, especially the flower part.

Lily pads and guy

ericjohnston26 — 2024-10-07 20:28:19 UTC

The lily pads are big. and the guy is wading through the water

the sign

paytoneygabroa28 — 2024-10-07 20:28:43 UTC

I didn't notice the sign next to the flower, it is a dark blue sign

man looking at plants

isaactaylor25 — 2024-10-07 20:28:52 UTC

the purpose behind this photo could be that a man is looking through the water garden appreciating the plants.

checking the pond

sophiaison28 — 2024-10-07 20:29:00 UTC

I think he is checking on the wellness of the lily pads and the flower in the middle.

the sign

joshuawade26 — 2024-10-07 20:29:35 UTC

the thing i didn't see when first looking at the photo was the tiny sign by the flower the man is holding

garden?

paytongreenber28 — 2024-10-07 20:29:36 UTC

he is wearing waders and there are signs labeling the plants so maybe its a garden or some type of farm he works at

Plants

2024-10-07 20:29:36 UTC

I see a lot of greenery and nature in this photo.

Sign

ericjohnston26 — 2024-10-07 20:29:40 UTC

There is a sign near the man that says "Santa Cruz Water Lily"

studying the lilly pads and flower

paytoneygabroa28 — 2024-10-07 20:30:16 UTC

I think the man is studying the flower because he is holding the flower and it looks like he's grabbing something out of the flower.

labels

2024-10-07 20:30:55 UTC

I missed the label's naming the plants at first glance.

lilly pads

ohanacoffey — 2024-10-07 20:31:19 UTC

the first thing that caught my eye was the giant lily pads but then I looked at the person then the greenery behind them.

some kind of lily pad garden

moriahkeenan28 — 2024-10-07 20:31:31 UTC

When I first looked at this image I saw a garden of lily pads and flowers. As well as a man in this garden.

Pond

ericjohnston26 — 2024-10-07 20:32:19 UTC

I think it is some kind of science type event because of the man studying the flower and the sign gives the kind of theme of an exhibit

plant keeper

2024-10-07 20:32:27 UTC

I think the person in the picture is taking care of the plants in the photo. I also think this is a type of Japanese garden or some type of that garden.

Person

ohanacoffey — 2024-10-07 20:32:30 UTC

At first glance, I noticed the other person behind in the bushes on something that could look like a trail. I also saw more different-looking and shaped plants.

flower protection

joshuawade26 — 2024-10-07 20:32:39 UTC

i think the man is helping the flower that is possibly endangered and most likely in a flower zoo

Identification card

moriahkeenan28 — 2024-10-07 20:33:04 UTC

When I first looked at this image I missed the card telling the viewer what plant were looking at.

A person

jackelinsantacru28 — 2024-10-07 20:33:27 UTC

The first thing I saw is the person in the water surounded by big lily pads, and he seems to be touching some kind of plant/flower.

enclosure

ohanacoffey — 2024-10-07 20:34:05 UTC

I belive it is some enclosure for a zoo, or something simular. I belive this because of the walk way behind, they way the person is dressed, the name tag on the Lilly pad, and all of the plants surrounding it.

Worker

moriahkeenan28 — 2024-10-07 20:35:03 UTC

I think the man in this photo is a worker at this garden possibly assessing this plant or checking on its health.

LILLY PADS

2024-10-07 20:45:53 UTC

The circles really pop and then I notice smaller things

Preparing Plants

2024-10-07 20:47:23 UTC

I think he is feeding the plants and stuff

The plants in the back

2024-10-07 20:49:08 UTC

The man

adaleighames28 — 2024-10-07 22:00:41 UTC

I think he's picking something in side the flower he's holding

The person in the top right

adaleighames28 — 2024-10-07 22:02:36 UTC

she is wearing like a black tank top

Keeping his pond nice?

adaleighames28 — 2024-10-07 22:03:36 UTC

Maybe hes trying to make sure that his flower is ok??

When I looked a little bit more at the picture i noticed that the lily pads were in a man-made pond and that the man was tending to a flower

kartergearhart28 — 2024-10-08 06:23:15 UTC

Looking closer

With my first observations i observed multiple giant lily pads and a man in the middle of them

kartergearhart28 — 2024-10-08 06:24:07 UTC

First observation

The article

kartergearhart28 — 2024-10-08 06:42:24 UTC

I want to use the lily pad scientific name so I looked up the biggest lily pads species name and I decided to look at images and found the same guy in the photo with the same jumpsuit on and everything. So if you want to know the story here's the link to the article= https://www.science.org/content/article/world-s-largest-water-lily-species-its-own

izabellasanchez28 — 2024-10-08 20:21:43 UTC

looking closely i noticed that the man of the center of the photo is surrounded by large Lilly pads

izabellasanchez28 — 2024-10-08 20:22:06 UTC

the man of the center of the photograph

peytonsavage28 — 2024-10-08 20:22:30 UTC

The first detail i missed was that there was a girl in the back

peytonsavage28 — 2024-10-08 20:22:55 UTC

I think that the man is harvesting lily pads

izabellasanchez28 — 2024-10-08 20:23:07 UTC

That the man was tending to the flower.

izabellasanchez28 — 2024-10-08 20:24:42 UTC

I think that maybe the man is in charge of maintaining the environment of the Lilly pads and making sure they are healthy and growing flowers.

person

ainsleycoakley24 — 2024-10-09 20:21:18 UTC

dude in the water

ainsleycoakley24 — 2024-10-09 20:21:44 UTC

theres only one lily flower

bloom

ainsleycoakley24 — 2024-10-09 20:22:39 UTC

I think maybe this is someone hand forcing the bloom of lily pads

arianagarcia2028 — 2024-10-10 20:32:11 UTC

i see the lillypads first

arianagarcia2028 — 2024-10-10 20:32:45 UTC

arianagarcia2028 — 2024-10-10 20:33:13 UTC
