Flower experts, please help me. Would I be correct to tag this picture as water lilies, or am I confused? The leaves are lily pads, correct?
(Sometimes, I get confused for simple things) Smile
Btw, has anyone been to Poor man's Taj? Smile

Like the story where the fox wanted to have tiger's stripes and ... you know the rest
of the story Smile
