I doubt the yellow colour to be seen. The yellow colour is seen only near the anthers. Especilly the flower from outside seen too clear white. Where as in the link send by tabishji for mexicana the petals are yello in colour even from outside, or overall may be i am wrong Madhuri

For some time I was considering this as N. alba but as per Flora Europaea and Flora of China the two differ in that stigmatic disc is depressed and stigmatic rays less than 14 in N. candida as against flat or slightly convex disc and more than 14 rays in N. alba.
