The Amazonian water lily is native to the shallow waters of the Amazon River basin and is known for its exceptionally large, beautiful petals and leaves. It is often called royal water lily and its genus name, Victoria, is in honor of Queen Victoria. This plant is unique in the sense that it is immune to insects and disease and lives in a highly specialized habitat.

The leaves lie flat on the water’s surface providing fish and other invertebrates with shade, shelter, and comfort. This also creates a most pleasant appearance making this type of water lily popular at most botanical gardens.
