Wow, you are lucky! There are none around here, and seeing one is a rare occurance. They are lovely, and this is what I call them, too.
I love the lily pads and lotus flowers are absolutely amazing!
Look like Lily Pads to me----LOL
MB
It has always been hard for me to get a good picture of Lily Pads, but yours is wonderful!
Those lily pads reminded me of the childhood story of Thumbelina that I used to love - she lived on one for a while :)
:)
that's a lot of blossoms!
Correct name or not, I don't know. I would call them a lily pad. Nice that they are close by so you can enjoy them
Hello,
The lotus flowers are beautiful, I like the lily pads. Take care, enjoy your day!
Hari OM
I guess so, the lotus, after all, being of the lily family; what beauty to have so near you! YAM xx
Magníficos estes nenúfares.
Um abraço e continuação de uma boa boa semana.

Great find captured here! Amazing how they grow and then stop to float at the surface. How do they know to stop? :-) They look large from this PoV.
i did a quick goolge search, just for myself and it looks like lotus leaves are called lotus leaves and lily leaves are called lily pads. lotus is round, lily has a dip in it. but that said you cerainly can call them lotus pads and we will know they are beautiful.
Those are big lily pads and you are fortunate to have them so near your house. We have lotus plants here but I have never seen lily pads that big.
wow...they look lovely..both the images. I love these buds and some in the process of opening and also some- few-where petals have fallen off!
Beautiful images
Devi :)))
There are so many! They will be so beautiful when in full bloom! The leaves look so large laying flat on the water.
Those lily pads are something else. They're so BIG! That's a cool picture, Rose.

I call them lily pads too, and I'm looking for a frog. ;-)
Beautiful sights!
They are great lookign liliy pads.
I call them lovely ... great photographs.
All the best Jan
I call them lily pads too. Cool pictures.
since you corrected me a few weeks ago about lilies and lotuses, I think I should hold you to correct nomenclature! (JK). It is quite a contrast between the flat featureless pads and the rising, opening blooms
