Upturned Yellow Bonnet Lilies in the Okefenokee Swamp

According naturalist Francis Harper, when “a boat or a bear passes over a watery Prairie, the bonnet leaves in the trail remain upturned on one side for several hours afterward. The upturned side of the leaf indicates the direction from which the boat or animal has come.” — Excerpt from Francis Harper’s Mammals of the Okefinokee Swamp, published March 1927
