Nymphaea nouchali, commonly known as the Red and blue water lily, Blue star water lily, Star lotus, Pygmy Water-lily, or by its synonym Nymphaea stellata, is a water lily of genus Nymphaea. The Blue waterlily is the national flower of Sri Lanka. White-flowered waterlilies (of several species) are the national flower of Bangladesh and the state flower for Andhra Pradesh, India.

 

This aquatic plant is native from the Indian Subcontinent to Australia region. It has been long valued as a garden flower in Thailand and Myanmar to decorate ponds and gardens.

 

In its natural state the Red and blue water-lily is found in static or slow-flowing aquatic habitats of little to moderate depth.
