That looks like a sagittaria to me?

To those who fall, and those who lift

For the love of Pete... and here I got to thinking it's gonna be something JUICY (based on the title of the thread) and instead you're posting PLANTS!!!
What ever is this world coming to?
Nice plant... at least... as far as those things... you know... sorta go.

Yup Savannah...it's Sagittaria australis benni 'Silk Stockings'.
Looks like I'll have at least a half dozen to share this fall.
LOL @ Roark!

Very pretty plant, is it hardy? Maryann
the petals look like white silk very nice plant. is it in the pond, bog maybe?
That is beautiful! It looks so delicate.
Thanks everyone.
Apparently it is hardy to zone five if planted in the ground in a bog, or wetlands.
But in a pot, you must keep it below the freeze line in the winter. (talking from experience here since I killed my first 2 SSs.
I have SS growing in with the bowl lotus.
The lotus and the SS are now entwined...and battling it out for any space left in the container.
I don't believe heat should bother lotus, because my poor bowl lotus sits on the bluestone patio and roasts...and this year we have had a scorching summer: very unusual with 30 days at or over 90*. But one thing I do NOT do, I don't use fertilizer tabs (which in hot weather release their nutrients WAYYY too fast) but instead, use osmocote and composted manure. I think a lot of people stunt (if not kill) their lotus by overfertilizing them...by putting tabs/spikes in on a schedule. I don't believe in putting them in whether they need it or not (RE: schedule)...because if they haven't used up the last tabs/spikes...the new spikes will end up burning the plant...especially if it is HOT.
There is also some Siberian Pinks in there aka Baldellia ranunculoides...a little running marginal plant with pink buttercup-like blossoms that bloom all summer.
