Wang Lian's huge leaves make it a veritable queen among aquatic plants. Wang Lian takes the name of Queen Victoria of England as her name, and is born with a royal demeanor. Today's one-day trip to the country park, I accidentally met Wang Lian. What a surprise!

Shanghai Pujiang Country Park

Shanghai Pujiang Country Park is located on Puxing Highway (north side of Dazhi River) in Minhang District, Shanghai. Because it is newly built, the open area is one eighth of the entire park. The flowers, plants and trees inside are not lush, except Wang Lian. It was an accident on this trip, but this time it happened.

At the same time, thick veins grow on the back of the leaves, which are plate-shaped and criss-crossed to form small square cells higher than 10 centimeters, which is conducive to maintaining the expansibility of the leaf surface and increasing the drainage capacity and load capacity of the leaves. A huge Wang Lian leaf can carry a load of 70 kilograms. Most people will not sink when standing on a Wang Lian leaf. This is the origin of the ability to raise infants.
