Nymphéas

Nymphéas, commonly known as water lilies, are aquatic plants with floating leaves and elegant, colorful flowers that bloom on pond or lake surfaces. Originating from regions like Asia and North America, they have adapted to thrive in calm, shallow waters. Their broad, round leaves help them float, while their fragrant flowers open during the day, attracting pollinators. Nymphéas play an important role in aquatic ecosystems by providing habitat, oxygenation, and shade, which supports biodiversity. Their stunning appearance has made them a favorite subject in art and horticulture, symbolizing purity and tranquility in many cultures.
