Excellent explanation! And it confirms my belief that the water lily is often mistakenly called the lotus in India. Lotus is known as the national flower of India. However, it is the water lily that is depicted in almost every mention of the “Lotus”. I think it is time to recognize that कमल (Kamal) = Water Lily NOT Lotus!

Are water lillies winder type plant ? Or just summer time ?

[@Freshfrommygarden-Smita]

They are tropical plants and usually bloom in the summer season

How are you keeping mosquito away?

[@Freshfrommygarden-Smita]

Grow guppies...that prevents breeding of mosquitoes

[@nidhisarda]

Yes but I don't want to add fish. I couldn't spot them in your ponds as well. Do you have them? Or did you try something else?

[@Freshfrommygarden-Smita]

Yes...I have a lot of guppies in all my containers...Guppy fish is the best way to keep away mosquitoes from aquatic plants. You can also use floating plants like azolla or duckweed to cover the surface of the water

Do delicate and beautiful! My favorite spot to watch them when we visit Huntington’s Garden by the Japanese area. Thank your for the descriptive video I’m planning to get some.
