Hello friends!
Nymphaea alba, also known as the European white water lily, white water rose or white nenuphar. There are many legends about the origin of name of this wonderful plant. The ancient Greek legend of the water lily tells how a beautiful white nymph, flaming with love for Hercules and did not receive a response from him, from grief and love for him turned into a white water lily.
Do you know that water lilies are edible and even medicinal plants?
A decoction of the root is used in the treatment of dysentery or diarrhoea caused by irritable bowel syndrome. It has also been used to treat bronchial catarrh and kidney pain and can be taken as a gargle for sore throats. Externally it can be used to make a douche to treat vaginal soreness or discharges. In combination with slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) or flax (Linum usitatissimum) it is used as a poultice to treat boils and abscesses. The rhizome is harvested in the autumn and can be dried for later use. The flowers are anaphrodisiac and sedative. They have a generally calming and sedative effect upon the nervous system, reputedly reducing the sex drive and making them useful in the treatment of insomnia, anxiety and similar disorders.
These shots I took last week, strolling through the garden of Ökowerk (Berlin).

In my opinion you've captured awesome pictures for sure, and this place is so natural and in my opinion whenever we explore natural places then that gives pleasing effect to us.
And these lilies are so beautiful to watch and in my opinion water flowers gives healing essence for sure. And those huge leaves are just reflecting as green art pieces.
And good to read the importance of the lilies, and when we get to know the important points related to some aspects then that aspect becomes more valuable.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
