Water lily
The water lily is a small plant that lives in lakes and ponds, providing shelter for the little pond animals that live underneath. There are lots of different types of water lily, each one has a different colour or size of flower. But they do have a few things in common as well. Like all the flowers have a circular shape, with floating lily pads hooked up to the stem.
The water lilies have families a bit like us, except the different types of water lilies go into different family groups. For instance there is the family Nymphaeaceae (pronounced Nym-fee-sha) The Nymphaeaceae family live in freshwater and tropical climates around the world, Mainly in the northern hemisphere. The flowers are shaped a bit like a cupcake born at or above the waters surface the fragrant, solitary flowers are beautiful. The long stalks of the flowers are attached to underground stems attaching the flowers to their leafs the lilly pads.
