i was thinking this was a Lily because of the split in the leaf… but I’ve never seen a Lily with aerial leaves??? Any thoughts?

Some tropicals have aerial leaves. It could also be a sign that the lily is over crowded. I have a 10x10 pond just for lilies and some of my new leaves are like that. I have almost100% coverage.

It really won't hurt the leaves to be crowded... just depends on the look you like. Now crowded tubers is a different story!
