You mean you know and you're not telling? ;-) I dunno - a water lettuce of
some sort?

No idea, but what a great piece of photography! :-)

I'm being cheeky here... I had no idea the plant in question would
throw up such a flower. So I just wondered if, shown just the flower,
people with greater expertise than I (and there are quite a few of
those here!!) would be able to recognise the plant :-)
No, it's not a water lettuce either.

You're too kind :-) Truth is, I have a good camera, and the photo I
retained from the series I took was shot on automatic macro-photo
setting - it was better than my own manual efforts.
I can't claim any credit.

But is it a water plant? ;-) It's faintly familiar but I think that's
wishful thinking on my part.

Kind of. I don't want to help the experts too much - that would be no
fun.

Nope.
Hint (I can't possibly deny an Irishman a hint) - we love it dearly,
and we call it Phrod, pronounced Fred. For really, really obvious
reasons. Obvious to us, mainly.

In that case, it's Venus Fly trap

I'm all disappointed now... I thought this might run for a while :-(
Anyway, what a pretty flower for such an ungainly plant!
Our Fred-Phrod (from Aphrodite, or Venus)could use a few beasties, and
there are no insects flying around the house at the moment. We may
need to go hunting on Fred's behalf.

ok now I am completely lost.
The flower buds and sepals are very familiar. If it had 6 petals, I
would guess some kind of lily or onion but only having 5, usually
makes it a dictot. All of the guesses I can make are buttercup
relatives (Rannunculs, Anemone, Clematis, water lily). Ok, I give in.

It's a lovely flower. So much for thinking it looked familiar - I've never
seen it before!
