No, those are lotuses. Possibly *Nelumbo nucifera*? You can easily distinguish lotuses from waterlilys by their leaves and growth habits. Lotus leaves are completely round, whereas lilypads have a notch. Lilypads lay on the water while lotuses rise above it. Lotuses also have distinctive seedpods which you have pictured.
