Nymphaea lotus var. thermalis
growing at a resort, Baile Felix, in a thermal water pond (since the resort was buildt in the 50ies). Fortunately it is the only one remaining Sp. of the Egyptian White Water-lily growing in Europe as an endemic species since the last ice age.

there is a slider mission? I didn´t see it!
Welcome...
Reminding... Sliders are yet to star on Project Noah... from this habitat... :)
thanks for the friendly comments
yeah these pictures show more of the habitat - I like that too... I usually concentrate on one thing, if I already had an overview
I really like flowers as you shown with leafs. Not concentrated only on flower that is important in my view.
Wow like to see those pretty reptiles.!!
Thanks Ashish I thought you´d like it!, well there were no moorhens, just red eared sliders...
Wonderful..!!
I natural habitat some kind of Moorhens stay on their petals.
it is a very special Nymphaea sp.! only one place where it grows endemic since ice age. thanks Alice
This is Lotus because the flowers and leaves are above the water. Very beautiful.
:) thanks
Nice!
I just found out, that the german Wikipedia names my birthtown (Oradea) as the european origin of this plant. :D I´m quite excited right now!
:D yay once again a RARE Species!!!!
