"I have lived here since I was a child. The neighbors and I thought the giant water lily went extinct, but it came back , " said Antonio Benítez, a local resident.

Visitors of Agustin Gomez were amazed at the size of the water lily."This is a scene you can't see every day or every year. You can see the waterlily but not so much and so big. Some trees have two meters wide leaves , " Gomez said.

Locals use water lilies to make an herbal tea that is thought to help treat asthma and bronchial disorders, but authorities warn the flower pickers may be punished.
