| The water hyacinth, a free-floating plant, has broad, thick, glossy leaves and is capable of rising as much as a meter above the water surface. It has an erect stalk with 8–15 beautiful lavender to pink flowers. |

| It breeds very fast and covers large water surfaces in quick time, creating a breathtaking sight. However, this plant has also become controversial as an invasive species that clog lakes and canals. |
