The Amazonica is the largest member of the water lily family. The lily pads are up to 8 feet across and the large fragrant white to pink blooms have a sweet pineapple-like scent on the first day of its two day lifecycle. The flowers will open at night on the first day being white, then turn pink after being fertilized.
The lily pads are up to 8 feet across and are supported by a ribbed underside and anchored to a submerged stalk allowing the leaf to float on the surface. These stalks can be up to 26 feet long and they embed themselves in the lake or river bottom. This rapid growing plant can expand by up to 20 inches per day. While the upper surface has water repellent properties, the underside is protected from herbivorous fish by its sharp spines. Air becomes trapped between the ribs on the underside, which keeps it afloat.

No wonder he kept adjusting his shorts, check out that fitting cut.
A colleague even offered to solve the mysterious 'quick pull of shorts' as a pre-match ritual he must do in order to win.

Photograph taken at 15:45pm an altitude of One Thousand, eight hundred and seventy three metrres on Monday 15th September 2014, my secondday on the Peak 2 Peak experience, having taken the Creekside Gondola up to Rendezvous Lodge on Whistler mountain, in the Fitzsimmons Range of the Pacific ranges of coastal mountains on the Northwestern edge of Garibaldi Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. I then took the 'Peak 2 Peak' gondola across the Blackcomb mountain, where this frame was captured.
Blackcomb Peak is located east of Whistler, forming the boundary between the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort and the Garibaldi Provincial Park. She stand The mountain stands Two thousand, four hundred and thirty six metres tall (7,992ft) and is approximately One hundred million years old. I stayed for three days at the Whistler Blackcomb resort at The Crystal Lodge in the village, and could not wait to visit both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains via the world famous Peak 2 Peak Gondola.
The peak 2 peak gondola at Whistler Blackcomb took two years to construct, connecting the alpine of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains and spaning 4.4km in length. The ride time takes Eleven minutes with one cabin, capable of seating Twenty eight people, departing every Forty nine seconds. The Gondola runs on an 8,850 metre long, 56 millimetre thick centre haul rope, with two 56 millimetre outer track ropes to support the weight and has a maximum speed of 7.5 metres per second.
The Gondola system holds three world records for longest unsupported span, highest lift of it's kind and the world's lonmgest continuous lift system. A two day adult pass, allowing you to travel twice on the peak 2 peak gondala and as many times as you wish on the smaller additional chair lifts at either mountain, costs just $62 (a single day pass is ten dollars less). To reach the summit of Whistler mountain also required an additional open ski chair lift ride which was totally awesome.
