common that a dandelion would like? They are open places with lots of sunshine. Dandelions cannot grow in the shade, so they choose a sunny place for their habitat (picture ).
Where water lilies live
Water lilies have large leaves that float on water. Many garden ponds have them. You can also see them in the ponds at parks (picture ).
If you look at a water lily, you will find it has long, floppy stalks. These are good for allowing the leaves to bob up and down in the water, but they do not have the strength to hold the plant up on dry land.
The water lily has roots, so the whole plant doesn’t float. The water lily has its habitat in shallow ponds and swamps, not in deep open water.
The open ground in this grassy meadow contains dandelions (grey seed heads) and buttercups (yellow flowers) in among the green grass.
Open areas have grass, buttercups, daisies and dandelions.
The leaves and flowers of a water lily float on the still surface water of a pond.
