The beautiful & controversial water hyacinth (eichornia crassipes) in bloom! 😆 Considered the only large aquatic herb that can float on water without being attached at the bottom by virtue of the air spaces in its leaf stalks, the water hyacinth is also known for its water purifying qualities! It is used in a lot of crafts, and there are many bags, baskets and more made from water hyacinths. #waterhyacinth#eichhorniacrassipes#eichhornia#aquaticplants#aquatic#aquaticlife#greenthumb…
