Description
An aquatic plant, the lotus blossom is the national flower of India and Vietnam.
Nelumbo nucifera, also known as Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, Egyptian bean or simply lotus, is also known as the water lily.
Its giant leaves shaped like cups rise gently out of water. Above the leaves, the flowers grow on stiff straight stems and when opened, are visions of sweet dreams.
Lotus can regulate their own temperature of their flowers, possibly to attract certain cold blooded insect pollinators.
An individual lotus can live for over a thousand years.
The plant has medicinal properties, is edible, and is consumed and worshipped around the world.
The beauty and mystery of the flower is remarkable, as is its sweet intoxicating aroma.
