Introduction
Water Lilies, sometimes spelled Water Lillies or Lilium Aquatis, are one of the most common aquatic plants growing in slow-moving rivers, marshes, and ponds all around Eden. The flower in the middle blooms all year round in the frost-free regions; however, it is rare to catch a glimpse since each lily only blooms for four days until they sink to decompose.
Description
The plant comprises the characteristic big pads floating on the surface, a beautiful white flower in the middle, and a stem connecting the plant to the ground. The big lily pads offer shade to the water, cooling it down and hiding local fish from predatory birds. The stem reaches down to the bottom of the area and roots itself tightly into position. The beautiful flower in the middle is a sight to behold and smells sweet, yet an enigma to witness due to its short lifespan. Some describe the lily as retaining a rather sweet floral or citrus scent; however, other common water lilies retain a refreshingly clean scent, clear of floral or citrus undertones.
Usage
Though mostly a great decoration piece or a great gift for a loved one, only one part of this aquatic herb has medicinal use.

- Water Lily Stem
