So there doesn't appear to be a strict rule that the memes have to be about actual historical events. I'm hoping mythology can be acceptable.

Interesting bit for you, Narcissus is also the name for the lily: for it looks down at its reflection in the water, and indeed the mythology states that Narcissus became the lilies by being entranced by his own reflection and taking root at the border of the pond, but this might not make sense to a lot of modern audiences because sometime in the last century humans cultivated lilies to face upwards, colloquially referred to as stargazers.

Also, the scientific name for Water Lily which floats on the pond water is Nymphaeales.
