Floater

Water lettuce,or water cabbage, is a floating pond plant with fuzzy rosettes of leaves resembling heads of lettuce, though it’s not edible. Each leaf has deep ribs, scalloped edges, parallel veins, and no significant stems. The plant has small, insignificant pale green or white flowers in between the foliage. It blooms from late summer to late fall.

Water lettuce grows best in freshwater conditions and requires 11 to 12 hours of full sunlight (or dappled light in high heat). It is toxic to people and pets.1
