Water Lilies look lovely when they are in flower. Can anyone identify their individual names?

Top one looks like Nymphaea Lemon Mist and the bottom one looks like any number of pink water lilies. It is a little like being asked to name a rose but there are just too many that look alike that it needs an expert to identify them.
The pink one looks like the one in my pond - but I didn't plant it so don't know the name - Mrs Richmond maybe? I love how a little peony-like bud pops up and the next day you have a beautiful bloom. Would love a lemon one - gorgeous!
Thanks Ladybird & Aunty Rach, yes they are both beautiful lilies and so perfect - really are a wonder to look at. I looked them up in my book but could not find a match for them.
That's an idea, and I will have a good look for it this evening, thanks Philippa.
