Nymphaea candida is supposed to have ovate-oblong petals. The petals in the pictures here look too pointy. My second doubt comes from the color of the flower, which looks pale yellow rather than white. I suspect it to be Nymphaea mexicana. See the following links: http://www.wildflower.org/gallery/result.php?id_image=14548 http://www.ew.govt.nz/Policy-and-plans/Regional-Pest-Management-Strategy/Regional-Pest-Management-Strategy-2008-2013/Part-2/5-Pest-plants/54-Potential-pest-plants/5414-Mexican-water-lily-Nymphaea-mexicana/ However, I cannot say all this confidently. - Tabish
