Nymphaeaceae (Waterliles)

Waterlilies were among the first flowering plants (angiosperms) to evolve and they’re at least 125 million years old. If you build a pond, and you want a waterlily it’s recommended that you put it in a pot. If you plant it in the soil, it spreads by rhizomes, and pretty soon it will fill up all the available space. 

These photos were taken yesterday at Beaver Lake in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Stanley Park was established in 1886 and, at 1001 acres, is one of the largest city parks in the world (Central Park in New York is 840 acres). Beaver Lake is a natural feature in the center of the park. Unfortunately, in 1936 fragrant waterlilies were introduced to celebrate the parks 50th anniversary. This is the result. 

Beavers returned to Beaver Lake in 2008 after an absence of sixty years. Beavers eat waterlilies but these beavers had better get busy. As you can see, waterlilies grow like a “weed’.

Castle on Beaver

The owner of Castle Cove spent 10 years building this castle with his own hands as a gift to his beloved German wife, a romantic gesture that turned tragic when he fell from the scaffolding to his death in 2016.

WHEN TO GO

The official season runs from February - November. The earlier months mean colder waters but possibly fewer crowds. During the summer, from June to August, the trail is subject to close due to flooding and extreme heat (above 115°F).

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

A permit

A prior reservation to either the campground or the Lodge

Good hiking shoes and a pair of water shoes or rubber sandals

You will need to buy a permit from the Havasupai Tribe to access the area.

To make a reservation Havasupai Lodge, aka "the Lodge" in Supai Village.

To make a campground reservation, visit HavasupaiReservations.com before February

Havasu Falls is the most famous of the aqua-blue Havasupai Waterfalls that spill over deep-orange, travertine cliffs in a desert oasis of stunning beauty. The stark contrast between the arid desert landscape of the Havasu Canyon and the lush vegetation near the water is a juxtaposition of harsh desert and a sumptuous tropical paradise. The five Havasupai Falls include: Navajo Falls, Fifty Foot Falls, Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls and Beaver Falls. All are located on the Havasupai Indian reservation in a side canyon of the Grand Canyon.
