Is this "dwarf" lily?

or just normal?

Cuz the "dwarf" lilies I've got have a great range in size.

from sizes i'd consider dwarf, but then as large as these guys who seem like a different type of lily...these guys here, those leaves are wider than my palm...so a good 7-8".

In terms of ponds, a dwarf lily is one with a spread of less than a meter, whereas medium spread lilies can go up to 4 or 5' of spread. I guess dwarf is a relative term, but if you keep pinching those big leaves that run for the surface, it should convince the plant to start putting out more submersed leaves of a smaller size.

Wow

Could you post a wider tank picture?

My regular water lily sometimes is spotted but not ruffled like this
My red tiger lotus is ruffled along edges like this one but is a much darker red/purple color, but this one seems like the "green" version of a red tiger lotus.
