I think you are very fortunate and I would simply add lotus to the
pond and in a few years it will cover the lilies and you could have
something like this:

I only had one plant per pot, but you could have a 100' diameter pond
of these beauties.


Thanks for the suggestions Hal, I think I might try cutting back the
leaves and make them exhaust their soil a bit quicker growing new ones.
They are not invasive, they just don't look as good as when all the pads
are floating on the water.

As for the lotus suggestion I am trying to create something like this:

So I'll pass on that suggestion ;-)
