very nice capture. That D750 and zoom does wonders.
That flower head might be a good sequence to shoot as it develops.

[RSL]

Thanks, Frank. I'll check tomorrow and see if it's still there. It's on the edge of the river, and I notice that things like this don't last long.

Just got the word from our local expert. This flower is called a Duck Potato. An ugly name for a beautiful flower.

[degrub]

Well, the ugly duckling did turn out to be a swan....

[Paulo Bizarro]

Nice shot. I bet there is a more scientific name:)

[RSL]

Right, Paulo:

Sagittaria latifolia Willd.

Broadleaf Arrowhead, Arrowhead, Duckroot, Duck-potato, Wapato

Alismataceae (Water-Plantain Family)

Synonym(s): Sagittaria chinensis, Sagittaria engelmanniana ssp. longirostra, Sagittaria esculenta, Sagittaria latifolia var. obtusa, Sagittaria latifolia var. pubescens, Sagittaria longirostra, Sagittaria obtusa, Sagittaria ornithorhyncha, Sagittaria planipes, Sagittaria pubescens, Sagittaria variabilis var. obtusa, Sagittaria viscosa

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

I would be tempted to stick with one of the simpler names, such as Sagittaria variabilis var. obtusa. 

[RSL]

Absolutely, Eric. You save a lot of breath that way.

Lovely image, Russ.

Hope you and family are keeping safe.

Best.
