Has anyone heard of a water lily like this?

Columbia, MO(Zone 5b)

Several years ago I got a small water lily from somewhere that I just loved. It had small yellow blooms and a speckled leaf and multiplied through little rizomes that looked like the old bannana plants that you used to see in indoor aquariums. It has since died and I would really like to get another one. Does anyone know what kind this is or where I could get it? I know that it was not water snowflake but a true lily and I have never found it again.

N. mexicana- it's terribly invasive because of those little bananas. I threw all mine out, sorry.
