Thanks Bhavana for writing such a nice comment. It means a lot to me!
1. Water lily costs around 300 rupees in Chennai. Here in Chennai, most nursery gardens have them in a cement pots/containers small to medium sizes where the cement pot cost starts from 500 on wards. You should contact a local nursery for the exact price of a particular water lily plant as there many varieties in that plant. For planting a water lily, you need to have a cement pot or container which can hold at least 5 liters of water. The pot should be at least a feet in depth and 2 feet in wide. As the plant needs a lot of direct sunlight, it has to be kept outdoors or in terrace. As an added benefit, you can grow guppies in the pots along with water lilies.
2. Regarding flowering trees, you can go for shrubs like Peacock Flower (caesalpinia pulcherrima – Poinciana, pink is so pretty), Cape Honeysuckle (orange flower which attracts birds), Mussaenda (Red is more attractive), Duranta Repens (beautiful shrub with Purple flowers and orange berries, Note: the berries are poisonous), Frangipani, ia jasminoides (Parijatam), ixora, etc. There are so many to list here, if you visit a local nursery you will get plenty of ideas.
