Water lily (Nymphaeaceae) and Lotus (Nelumbo) plants are aquatic, with leaves and flowers emerging from the water of lakes, ponds and slow-moving streams. Found throughout the world, water lilies and lotuses carry powerful cultural meanings and have inspired artists for centuries. A lovely subject for floral photography, they also make stunning botanical prints full of reflections and texture.
