Description
A yellow water lily is captured at the outdoor pond of Guelph University Conservatory showing its elegance with a touch of Zen.
Nymphaea is a genus of hardy and tender aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae. Plants of the genus are known commonly as water-lilies.The genus name is from the Greek nymphaia and the Latin nymphaea, which mean "water-lily" and were inspired by the nymphs of Greek and Latin mythology.
Water-lilies are aquatic rhizomatous perennial herbs, sometimes with stolons, as well. The leaves grow from the rhizome on long petioles. Most of them float on the surface of the water. The blades have smooth or spine-toothed edges, and they can be rounded or pointed. The flowers rise out of the water or float on the surface, opening during the day or at night. Many species of Nymphaea display protogynous flowering. The temporal separation of these female and male phases is physically reinforced by flower opening and closing, so that the first flower opening displays female pistil and then closes at the end of the female phase, and reopens with male stamens.
