Bruh thanks

[@CarrionCrow993]

I love stories like this; a specimen unknown to science hiding in plain sight for about a century.

[@harrynac6017]

Discovered in an isolated forest, I understand. Discovered in an indoors cultivated garden??????????

[@iawaki]

Just imagine if Monet painted a picture of one of these massive lily pads

[@GlobetrotterBR]

They are common in North Brazil and its name is Vitoria Regia.

This is only like two weeks

[@sammillar3561]

It can’t have been ‘discovered’ in an artificial, man made garden. It was planted. 🙄

[@bugpal]

You misunderstand. They knew they had giant water lilies, but they didn't know they had that particular species. One day, they discovered they did.

[@oliviareillyyoutube6652]

I came here from e Kay anyone else

[@JasonECI]

"DISCOVERed" in a garden open to public? So they were created in a lab?

[@KevHCloud]

it's the largest speicies of watterlilly that we have discovered, these ones are on display, but there may be a larger species out the wild somewhere.
punctuation in the title would have saved so much confusion over this.

[@michaeljijus980]

I don't believe,strongly don't believe they are largest in the world..
Missleading title.
In their natural habitats they growing almost twice larger!!
I seen it personally there

[@KevHCloud]

world's largest waterlily species, it's not claiming that those particular waterlillies are the largest
