The link connected to this image is a panorama of the largest group of aquatic lilies on Mirror Lake
A blueberry bush can be from 5 to fifteen feet in height and can live for 35 years. They live by feeding on nutrients released by bacteria and fungi in the ground. You can find blueberries near the water at Mirror Lake. They fit into the local ecology because they can be food for animals.( Felicia and Angie)
Much of the underwater "mat" In Mirror Lake consisted of these short grass like plants. They were usually covered in a thick layer of sediment as evidenced in the link to this image.

The bladderwort is 2-6 feet tall. You can find bladderwort across Canada to northern Vermont, central, New York, and Minnesota. The bladderwort will eat small aquatic bugs using special traps that are seen in the link to this picture. It is shelter for fish and muskrat will eat it.
This lily, also called spatterdock, is common around Mirror Lake and was often raised above the water or mud where it grew. Its main competition for space is the introduced Asian water lily, Nymphaea oderata. Lilies die back each year adding to the organic buildup in Mirror Lake.
The Sun is the controlling body in our solar system. The Sun is 875,000 miles across. (1,393,000 km) The Sun "lives in the solar system. The sun is in the sky. It keeps the plants living. Which keeps the trees living. Which keep us living. The sun is called the "glowing ball." If you touch it you will die. The sun is also called a star. (Kristianna and Hannah)
