Nymphea stellata......Floral Friday Meme#3
The plant that bares this beautiful flower, Nymphea stellata is confused by many with Nymphaea nouchali, the national flower of Sri Lanka. This is a common plant in most of lowland Sri Lanka, in rivers, tanks,paddy fields,and swamps.
Beautiful photo! :) Yeah there is a big mix up about the two species, and I remember there was a very long article about it in one of the issues of Widusara last month or month before. There I found some pics I took lately and made a post. =D
