The flower looks like some kind of lily, judging by the long grassy stalk and it's proximity to water.

And WTH is up with Disney peeps not knowing who Shere Khan is?? *boggles*

[tabaqui]

I do not know!! I mean - Jungle Books was awesome! Sheesh.

Well, the plant is *in* the water, roots and everything. I looked at lilies, too, but the water ones all seem to have that 'classic' water lily construction of many pointy petals, you know?

I could not find one that had this cup shape.

Yay for beloved child back safe and sound and happy--not to mention with money, what!

As for the plant, I'm pretty sure it's a water iris.

[tabaqui]

Yes! Yay!! Omg, i was so happy to see her. :) And she didn't spend all her money! I was amazed.

Well - see, maybe? But none of those flowers look like this* one. I mean - they all seem to have that narrow, ruffled petal of an iris, where some curl out and down, and some go up.

This one is all up and out, like a star-shaped cup. I just DO NOT KNOW.
*flails*

And see, if i don't know, it drives me nuts.

I believe its a purple flag iris...

Hrmmmmmmmm!
It's possible, but....

Googling 'purple flag iris' gets me lots of pictures of *iris* looking plants.

And googling 'blue flag', which is what this .jpg is named, also gets lots of iris-looking flowers.

So i don't know! Snow says maybe, but...not quite. Sheesh! Who'da thunk this would be so hard?

Found this: http://www.fishpondinfo.com/photos/ponds/bigpond/iris7.jpg She calls it an iris. It was the closest thing I could find to the pic you posted.

I am glad the Bebe had so much fun! Cool move by the boyfriend too! He sounds like good people.
She also said that nobody knew who Shere Kahn was.
O.O Seriously?! The Hell???

[tabaqui]

Dude, i know!! SHERE KAHN!! Sheesh.

Yeah, he's a good kid. It's awfully restful, having a sixteen year old whose boyfriend lives in another state. :)

Yeah, that's close - i'll have to see what Snow says. You'd think it would be easy!
