Try taking a look at images from illustrated medieval herbariums (herbaria?). A quick search turned up: http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.co.uk/2007/01/pseudo-apuleius-herbarium.html – The first folios from a late 11th-century ms includes a very stylised water lily, OE-era but not the most visually arresting image! http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMINBig.ASP?size=big&IllID=10021 – Slightly more recognisable (but all pads and tiny flowers!) is this page from BL Egerton MS 747 of c.1300 https://uk.pinterest.com/marcoponzi/herbals/ – Loads more super beautiful excerpts from illustrated herbals, including a couple of water-lilies LikeLike
