There are several blossoms in a cluster usually below the topmost leaves. The hairy filaments give the blossom cluster a fuzzy appearance. The flowers are white to lavender. | |

200mm (300 equiv) Flash: Yes | | Due to the palmate shape of the leaf of Hydrophyllum canadense , it is sometimes referred to as maple-leaf waterleaf. Broad-leaf waterleaf is probably the most common name used for this species, but possibly due to the potential for confusion with H. macrophyllum, which has the common name of Large-leaf Waterleaf, the official USDA national common name for H. canadense is Bluntleaf Waterleaf. | | Click on the photo for a larger image
