Lily flower is our national flower.

Nymphaea is a species of indigenous people. It is a kind of aquatic plant. About 40 species of this plant have been found in the world. Their common names are Shaluk, Shapala, Siddhi.

Generally speaking, naphtha nouchali species are defined in Bangladesh. This is called shapala or shaloo in Bengali. Its flower is white. This is the national flower of Bangladesh. This flower is grown in almost all tropical and temperate regions of the world. At one time it was very cheap in haor, bills or open ponds in Bangladesh.

This plant is becoming scarce because of the decrease in the amount of water bodies currently. In addition to Bangladesh, this flower is cultivated to decorate ponds and gardens in Thailand and Myanmar. White shapala is found in ponds and lakes in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Yen, Taiwan, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Papua Newgain, Australia and Myanmar.

Shapala flowers are photographed during the day. This flower is connected directly to the stem. The stems of the flower or the stems are attached to the root under water and attached to the ground beneath the main pond. Its leaves float on the water. The size of the leaf is approximately round, but it has a side split. Leaf color is green, there is a sharp cord around the edge of the leaf.

The diameter of the leaf is about 15-20 centimeters. Its flowers look like a dome in an oval leaf. The outer color is greenish gray. Under the boiling, the white petals inside it spread. The petals are 7-10 centimeters. The flowers of this plant are seen almost all year round. However, this flower is widely seen in monsoon and autumn. The result is approximately round (ie round).

The characteristics of other species of Shapla are almost the same. But due to the color variation, they are called different names. Below are some of the most notable species of general identity.

Nymphaea lotus
English name: pond lily
Bengali name: Shapala These flowers are a bit dull compared to the white chapel. The pond is cultivated. In general, it is called as Shapala or Shaloka, without separating it with white shapla in Bengal.
Nymphaea rubra Rxob
English name: red water lily
Bangla Name: BloodComplet These flowers are reddish. Available in ponds and bills.
Nymphaea stellata Wild
English name: Blue water lily
Bengali name: Nilkamal These flowers are blue in color. Available in ponds and bills.

Many people cultivate a variety of Shapala pond or pond. Shapla flowers are used as vegetables. Flowers are used to cure bookstore. Many people also eat fruit. This type of food is prepared in a wet form. It is called 'the scope of the map'. Shapla medicine is used as medicine for Ayurvedic disciplines. There is no use of it to cure untamed, multicolored disease. Its stems are dried and used as food for livestock.

A 10-day expedition into Western Australia's central Kimberley has resulted in an international team of botanists hitting the floral jackpot.

The group used four-wheel-drives and a helicopter to scour remote waterways for a rare type of water lily that had never before been scientifically recorded.

Professor Kingsley Dixon, who led the team, said they were overjoyed to locate the elusive species growing in two billabongs.

"My feeling at this point about the whole expedition is just exhilaration," he said.

"You can't help but get a sense of uplift that we find these fabulous new species in these exotic landscapes, that no-one's actually discovered before."

A sample of the plant had been collected once before but there was not enough evidence for it to be formally recognised as a distinct species.

So Professor Dixon rounded up a crack team of tropical botanists to track down the elusive pale blue flower.

Totally hooked' on lilies

Along for the ride was Carlos Magdalena, one of the world's leading experts on exotic water lilies.

He travelled all the way from the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in London to join the expedition.

"Upon seeing my first Australian water lily years ago, I just went 'wow', and got totally hooked on the subject," he said.

"It's been a dream of mine to come here and be able to observe them in the wild, after years of growing them in London."
