This is my take on a water lilly or lotus flower complete with leaves. Perfect decoration for a glass bowl or aquarium (at 20% infill or less all parts should swim). We use them in our garden fountain (which does not get enough sunlight for the real thing to bloom). Looks surprisingly real and definitely extremely decorative.
There are three .stl files: part one (the main part, petals), part 2 (small center), and the leaf. Ideally print the petals in white (or pink, light blue...), the center in yellow or orange, and the leaves in... well you guessed it, green. I have also included a complete model of the flower, in case you want to print all in the same color (and/or paint).
Enjoy!

Notes:
No supports needed for the small center part and leaves but definitely for the petals (I use 50° from base plate)! Resize to any size you like. Print a few leaves in different sizes to make it look even more real.
