Alisma plantago-aquatica, I think this is an alternative to water lotus flower or water-lily. Don't you think so?
Well ... on the mini side ;-)
Blooms once. About 2 days after the bloom day, grows new leaves to be rooted. Fairly easy to grow as long as they are shielded from noon to evening direct sun. Bloom pic taken from our guppy pond, fertilised well naturally by our guppies and catching outdoor light and air. 
Alisma P. in our open courtyard. It grows according to the size of their pot. So the bigger pot, the bigger leaves.
2 new stalks carrying buds. Very productive Alisma in a guppy pond in filtered sunset.
Finished blooms will sprout young leaves and roots. Ready to be separated from mummy-plant, but I decided to let it float to shade some part of the little pond.
