Description

The lilypad, clearly, is based on real life lily pads such as Victoria amazonica, the largest lily pad on Earth. Reaching 3 metres in diameter. The lilypad plants of 4546B however are far larger.

The lilypad displays a multi-staged life cycle through which it changes drastically.

• It begins as a small curled leaf anchored to the ground by a thin stem. Several other smaller stems protrude from the ground below around it.
• Next the leaf grows into a fan shape and the smaller stems around the base grow longer, ensnaring the main stem and firmly anchoring it to the ground.
• The third stage is identical to the second but larger. No major alterations to physical appearance.
• In the fourth stage the leaf appears to become inflated with gas, which causes the lilypad to become buoyant, ripping the ground it was growing in away from the seabed and up towards the surface.
• At stage five it takes on the appearance of a lilypad, presumably the gas filled lilypad reaches the surface it opens up into a huge, flat, circular leaf that sits on the surface of the water.
