The water and the pads look just downright horrible, no colour at all. The only way it would work without a pol is if you were able to fill the frame with the flower and its reflection so the colour is no issue. Don't believe me? Take your camera out to a waterlily pond and shoot with and without a pol... see which version pops. ;) Oh and it also depends on the angle. The lower you get, the less effect the filter will have. I threw away all my low angle shots! Hmm... but now I remember that you were actually quite creative without a polariser. So I guess it depends, but I still don't think that a non-polarised white waterlily looks any good. ;) No you wouldn’t prefer it without a pol filter, trust me.

Instead of reflection, there is a shadow, that is... Is only me then, but I think I prefer the one without polarising filter? Instead of reflection, there is a shadow, that is…
