    hi Susan, I see you requested "water lily" as a species. Sorry, but that is not specific enough, as there are hundreds of them. We have to get an identification down to the species level/precision in order to truly identify it. Posted 10 years ago

    Update: not a plant expert, but I believe Nymphaea caerulea is a likely match. Here's a very similar looking reference photo:

    It's also photographed in Northern Australia.
