With its rounded leaves and starry blossoms that float placidly on the surface of the water, the water lily is able to instantly improve the tranquil beauty of a lake or pond.

The majority of the country is home to these one-of-a-kind aquatic plants, which bloom in a variety of hues and can be seen blooming anywhere from late spring to October.

It is possible for their leaves to be flat or cupped, with edges that are smooth or jagged. Even while water lilies are most seen on the surface of still freshwater, their roots are actually anchored in the mud below.

It is in this mud that they spend the winter and spring up again the following year. Some further fascinating information about the water lily that could come as a surprise to you is presented here.
