Victoria Cruziana - Santa Cruz Waterlily

Botanical Garden of the University of Helsinki at Kaisaniemi

The leaf of a Santa Cruz Waterlily can bear a person weighing about 70 kg (about 154 pounds)!

The University of Helsinki Botanical Garden at Kaisaniemi is one of Helsinki's most popular visitor attractions. The Garden is situated very close to the city centre, and its glasshouses and surrounding grounds offer
nature lovers a unique experience all year round. The gallery between the large and small glasshouses is used to host temporary exhibitions, mostly on themes connected to the natural world.

Parananjättilumme Helsingin Yliopiston kasvitieteellisessä puutarhassa - lumpeenlehti kannattaa jopa 70 kiloa painavan henkilön!
