Is there anyware local to buy aquatic plants? Especially want to grow Mexican White Water Lilly. Not interested in fish or turtles or crocodiles. Already have a solar panel and pump to circulate the water for a small waterfall. What got me interested again was a TikTok video of pond water dyed a pretty Caribbean blue.
Interesting story, with an unexpected local twist.

According to Google there is no such plant. There's however an American whitewater lily.

Nymphea Mexicana. Read the article, the first part is maybe steep, but when he searches the Laguna Lerma, he becomes the Indiana Jones of water lilies.

I thought you were referring to the beach spider lilies like I have in my turtle pond.

Beauty! Where did you buy them? Trying to create a garden of Eden here, drinking mint juleps under the shade of a peach tree, until the night flowering fragrances of jasmine and lotus come rolling in. Paradise - eh? Eh Wot?

See if you can find some papyrus- I dug some up along the river here in Sayulita where it grows wild. Not sure what they call it in Spanish.

There used to be a water garden place by Telmex but I think they are gone now.
