Justicia americana

Water Willow

The common native plant forms large mats or colonies on the shoreline of lakes, ponds and streams. Although the orchid-like flowers have a tremendous amount of purplish tint, they still look whitish from a distance. This species is found along the banks of or in the shallow waters of rivers, ponds, and lakes.
