Paul - Beautiful bloom! The dang tadpoles are eating my bloom buds that are under water. I need to get the net out and scoop the tadpoles out and put them in the "other" pond with the Mexicana water lilies. They can't destroy those aggressive water lilies! LOL!
May I suggest a great website for extensive information about water lilies. This is my go to website when I need information:

They also have a large database of named water lilies with photos:

And their site covers lots of information about other water plants, too:
