About Flora - White Water Lily

European white water lily or white nenuphar (Nymphaea alba L.) and Yellow water lily or Brandy-Bottle (Nymphaea lutea) are perennial plants from the nenuphar family (Nymphaeaceae). The Latin name Nymphaea comes from the Greek word nymphe (nymph) and is connected to the legend of the nymph that fell in love with Hercules. Because her love was not returned she transformed into a flower that turned towards the sun every morning and awaited his return. The second part of the name alba symbolizes the white color and lutea for the yellow color.
