This one's Nelumbo nucifera - Lotus, or locally just called Red Lily, and by Aborigines Urmarninj. The seed when green is edible and delicious. Grows around the floodplains and likes fairly deep water.

The photo is of a wild plant, mine at home are continually getting attacked by grasshoppers and having a hard time.
