Water Gardening: water lily growth, 2 by helenchild

My water lily leaves are growing straight out of the water! The flowers have been mostly hidden under the leaves. :-(

So I need to know what I did or am doing wrong. I didn't repot them this spring but I did use fertilizer tablets that are suppose to last a year. I have used them in the past without problems. Are they over fertilized? What would make the leaves grow straight up? They have plenty of sun throughout the day.

Thanks for any advise.
