Nymphaea

So far, I’ve identified two species of water-lily: Nymphaea puchella and the more common Nymphaea amazonum.   N. pulchella is currently flowering and has a wavy margin on it’s floating leaves, while N. amazonum hasn’t begun flowering yet and seems to have smaller leaves.  The flowers below are from N. pulchella.
