The Bonnet House in Ft. Lauderdale is so named for the Bonnet Lilies(Nuphar) that bloom in the slough on the property. Another name for them is the Alligator Bonnet! No alligators in the slough however there are many many alligators in the area. Copyright 2026 Pamela BreitbergI have seen Alligators among Bonnet Lilies in the Everglades in shallower areas up to only 15 feet deep.. The Lilies make good cover for them. The flowers open at night Copyright 2026 Pamela Breitberg
