seemed very old, I frankly thought it was dead. sluggish, missing an eye, what appears to be recent injuries on the head and neck. healed puncture wounds (?) on shell close to neck. it let me get very close, less than 3 feet in front of it. it stared at me for a solid minute before dipping into the water and swimming away.
Flower stalk was separate from the leaf stalk
size about 3"
Cool to see another one. Flew right by me and landed next to one of the water runoff streams leading to the river.
