This pond full of lilly pads can be seen at the Continental Divide in Yellowstone National Park. The flowers, although they don't show up very well in this photo, are bright yellow.
They do not bloom for that many weeks but, if you are in Yellowstone, make the drive up through Craig Pass and you will probably get to see some of them.
It is amazing to me how during the winter this pond can, and does, freeze over and yet, come spring, the lilly pads and their flowers emerge from the ice and snow and provide some beautiful color for the Divide.
There is a large pull out at the pond and it provide some execllent opportunities for photos.
