Waist deep in mud, hands cut by spines, intense mozzie attack, crocs surrounding us - all for a beautiful night time-lapse of giant water lily!
Giant water lily (Victoria cruziana) Pantanal, Matogrossense National Park, Brazil. Flowers open at night to attract beetles to pollinate them. The flower is 10oC warmer than its surroundings, this helps its scent to radiate.
