If you liked those photos, take a look at these. I saw this plant on a hike I went on today, I had also seen the same one about a month ago in the same condition, it seems to be doing just fine. This one however is actually in the middle of a stream, not just on the side, and though its not in the deepest part (fairly shallow, about an inch or two only in this part), it is completely surrounded by running water at all times and in very, very wet soil. They seem to do just fine with lots of water like this under certain circumstances. Of course this wont work all the time, but it can be done.
