Nymphaea nouchali

Nymphaea nouchali is a plant that lives in water. It has big, green leaves that float on top of the water and pretty flowers that can come in different colors like pink, blue or white. It's like a pretty water lily that you can see in a pond or a lake.

This plant grows from something called a rhizome, which is like a big, fat root that helps the plant stay in one place in the water. The roots of the plant absorb nutrients and water from the water it lives in, which helps it grow.

When the plant is ready to bloom, it sends up a long, tall stem with a flower at the top. This flower has petals that open up to show a pretty center with lots of tiny little parts called stamens and pistils. These parts help the plant make seeds so that it can multiply and make more plants.

Animals like frogs or fish might also like to hang out around this plant, as it provides them with shade or a place to hide from predators, like bigger fish that may try to eat them. Overall, nymphaea nouchali is a lovely plant that adds beauty to the aquatic environment it inhabits.
