Title: I don't know what it is...

... but it's growing in the water down at the lake, among the cattails.

How pretty!  Are there many others there, as well?  I don't know what it is either, but it must be striking there among the darker colors of green and brown of the cattails, etc.

It is a beautiful flower, probably some sort of water lilly. 

How big is it?

If you have the size I will do a search. 

I love the contrast of yellow and green.

The blossoms are a little more than an inch to two inches across.   The dark green leaves cover the water near the cattails, and there are many of these little yellow flowers.   I hadn't noticed them before.

I have no idea what this could be.  Doesn't look like it's in the lily family.

I was working on this research for this little flower and then my computer crashed on me.  I will get started on it again.  I should have something for you by the end of the week.

Hugs
Heather

Ok, I think I have figured out what this flower is ... I found another picture of it on the net.

It's called a water buttercup I think.

Sorry it took so long to get an answer.  This has been a very busy summer.

Hugs
