Water lily, the national flower of Bangladesh

in #photography6 years ago

The other day I went for a evening walk and found water lily in one lake. Water lily is the national flower of Bangladesh. There are various types of water lily available in the country. They are beautiful to look.

You can find more information from Wikipedia-

Nymphaeaceae /ˌnɪmfiːˈeɪsiː/ is a family of flowering plants, commonly called water lilies. They live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains five genera with about 70 known species.[2] Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on or emergent from the surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria and Euryale.

Sharing some pictures of flowers-
