Water Lilies and Lotus Flowers on a Garden Pond

In a waterside garden, a girl with curly hair spends time near a tranquil pond filled with aquatic vegetation. Lotus flowers and water lilies float across the calm surface of the garden water feature.

How Water Lilies and Lotus Plants Adapt to Water

While water lily leaves float directly on the water surface, lotus leaves often rise several inches above the water on stiff stems. Both plant species feature hydrophobic waxy coatings on their foliage that allow water droplets to roll off instantly, keeping the leaves clean. Their underground rhizomes anchor securely into the muddy bottom of shallow ponds.

Colors Found on Aquatic Plants and Garden Ponds

  • Lotus blossoms: Soft pink, white, or pale yellow
  • Water lily pads: Olive green or deep forest green with reddish undersides
  • Pond water: Reflective dark blue, green, or tea-brown
  • Lily flower center: Golden yellow stamens
