Default Pink Waterlily closed

My pink waterlily bloomed for three days, but for the past two the flower
has remained closed.

It's been dry and warm here (Scotland) and the water temp is around 20.

The only other thing i've noticed is a new pad coming up.

My white Lilly's tend to only last 2-4 days so I'm assuming that's
normal...

I do mine, so I'd say yes... But I'm no expert...

Yes. ) And pinch off any yellowing pads too, they attract aphids. ~ jan
