Hello! Today I bring you another favorite:

Nymphaea, mostly known as Water Lily, has it's name from ancient times, refering to the  Nymphs in Greek mythology, the beautiful deities who live in the water. Water Lilies grow in still water or gentle flowing waters. They can grow from 2 meters deep (if not more) to a mere 20 centimeters from the surface. These depicted in the picture are not tropical (Those are easily identifiable by their variegated leaves and their sturdy stalk that rises above water level to display the flower that has longer petals.) which means they are familiarized pretty much everywhere. These beauties consist of round leaves that reach the surface from a thin but strong stalk; they float thanks to tiny airbags inside. Flowers are white, pink, red or yellow. They have very fragile petals and a yellow center filled with nectar stems. They open in the early morning and expel a sweet honey perfume that makes you literally want to eat the poor flower, LOL. Anyway, they close at sunset and will open in the next 3 to 5 days before they wilt and another flower emerges. This only happens when you have the plant in a small pot and small body of water. The larger the container is, the larger the leaves and flowers numbers. In colder climates, they hybernate. If they are in a container, place them on a covered area, as the water is not deep enough to prevent them from freezing to death. Very easy to care for, they only demand full sun. If planted in a container, change 1/3 of the water every 2 months. You can use tap water. DON'T place decidous plants next to them, as falling leaves become a natural fertilizer for them, and they will produce more larger leaves and less flowers.
