This aquatic plant is found in Africa and is identified by its blue flowers. Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea is the species of Blue Water Lily that you're likely to see in the wild.

These plants can grow up to 1 meter in height and have characteristic lily pads, which are round and green with a white edge. The flowers themselves can be up to 20 cm in diameter and are usually blue, but they can also be pink or white.

Blue Water Lilies prefer still or slow-moving water and can be found in ponds, lakes, and rivers. They bloom from late spring to early autumn, depending on the climate.

If you're lucky enough to see a Blue Water Lily in the wild, be sure to take time to appreciate its beauty!
