Loved how the moving pond water and light created such lovely patterns on the lily pads! The effect added so much variety in the green colour of the partially submerged leaves. Have a wonderful weekend!

This [red] water lily has a beautiful flower which is usually white or blue in color. Its variants occur in white, blue, violet, purple, pink & cream/yellowish white colours. The flower has 4 or 5 sepals and 13-15 petals that have an angular appearance, making the flower look star-shaped from above. [...].

N. nouchali is a day-blooming non-viviparous plant with submerged roots and stems. Part of the leaves are submerged, while others rise slightly above the surface. The leaves are round and green on top; they usually have a darker underside. The floating leaves have undulating edges that give them a crenellated appearance. Their size is about 20–23 cm and their spread is up to 1.5 m from the rhizome. Wikipedia
