Question
Flower coming out of shallow water at the edge of a pond in Lincoln, Massachusetts.
Answer
Dear jfc, you have photographed a species of Sparganium (bur-reed; Typhaceae). While not a large genus, there is a diversity of species as to their aquatic form (e.g., erect emergents, floating-leaved plants). I can't tell you which species you've photographed without additional images of the leaves and inflorescence. Hopefully knowing the genus will get you started on your study.
