bdmowers Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Does anyone know the non-water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) plant in the lake (the lettuce-looking one)? I suppose this might be considered the other component of lirio. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
