Under-Water Lily

There are very few water lilies blooming this late in the summer and we thought we had seen the last,  but I spotted this one just beginning its journey under the surface of the water.  In the next few days the stem will grow longer and the the full bloom will be floating on the surface.     

I'm curious so see how long this will take and will be watching its progress until it blooms.   Stay tuned for the future blip.
