https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Victoria_amazonica Description

The Victoria amazonica has very large leaves, up to 3 m (10 ft) in diameter, that float on the water's surface on a submerged stalk, 7–8 m (23–26 ft) in length. The species was once called Victoria regia after Queen Victoria, but the name was superseded. V. amazonica is native to the shallow waters of the Amazon River basin, such as oxbow lakes and bayous. It is depicted in the Guyanese coat of arms. They take up to 48 hours to fully bloom. The flowers, up to 40 cm (16 in) in diameter, are white when they open the first night, and emit a sweet, pineapple-like scent as well as heat (thermogenesis) that attracts beetles.[1] The flowers close in the morning, often trapping beetles that continue to feed on their nectar.[2] The flowers open again the second night, becoming pink colored, and are pollinated by beetles carrying pollen from other plants. This process was described in detail by Sir Ghillean Prance and Jorge Arius.[3][4] It is the largest waterlily in the world. Preview of references
