A remarkable and interactive creation from Goodale's Threatened and Endangered series, which presents the threatened and endangered flora and fauna of Maine. In Maine the small water lily is considered to be in the threatened status. Her presentation of material in this series is varied and wonderful. Pygmy Water Lily is particularly engaging with this array of fronds that demand attention in the unfurling; a remarkable way to focus the viewer on each lily pad and flower.
