    Yes I agree with limz, no other aquatic plants would have emergent bloom as beautiful as the water lilies except maybe water lotus. Both these plants would need full sun and nutrient rich substrate to grow and flower well

    Yup cause I guess most of the aquatic plants are water pollinated so they don't need to be bright & colourful... normally just small & white coloured

    Bacopa caroliniana, the common one easily available from most fish shops
