Nymphaea odorata
Water Lilies are aquatic perennials with beautiful flowers. There are about 40 species of water lilies in the world, plus numerous hybrids and varieties. The flowers are fragrant with a yellow center and many spiral petals around 3-5" wide which tapers towards the ends. The leaves are flat, spherical with a waxy water repellent upper side with green colour and purplish colour underneath around 8-14" that floats on the surface.
This water plant can be grown in ponds or basins / containers which can hold 4 to 5 liters of water.
