I occasionally saw my friend's social media and I found he's on a travel now. I saw some of the photos he took (as the attached image) and I found this beautiful flower. I looked up the internet and learned it's called Ottelia acuminata. It seems that this plant is only available in my country. They need the clean water to grow. So it can judge whether the water is polluted or not. This flower just grows on the water and it is indeed very pretty.

The flower is indeed pretty Would you not want to grow it as it only grows in your country

I'm a little surprised that it is only available in my country. Of course I hope it can be available in more countries as such beautiful flowers shall be shared with more people. I don't know why they are not available in other places, perhaps this plant doesn't adjust to new environment very well, I assume. This is another photo taken by my friend. He is not a photographer and this can tell this is a really pretty flower because he doesn't have a fancy camera

@youless Very pretty. It is not necessary that all flowers must grow in all counries There are so many that do not grow here - tulips for example They have created anartificial environment for their growth in Kashmir

Me, too. And the photos were taken by normal phone and no fancy effects. This is why I really found these flowers are beautiful.

@youless As long as the roots don't take over the aquarium, that would look beautiful!

Those are very pretty. It's a bit like taking a canary down into a mine. They won't survive if there is gas around.

If the environment is not polluted, then I think it can grow well.
