Flowers often pick up religious and spiritual meanings because they rise from dirt and only show their beauty for a brief amount of time each year. The Lotus Flower is no different from the rest of the blooms used for decorating and religious ceremonies.

In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech and mind.

$Nelumbo nucifera, also known as Indian lotus, sacred lotus, or simply lotus, is one of two extant species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae. It is sometimes colloquially called a water lily, though this more often refers to members of the family Nymphaeaceae.\nLotus plants are adapted to grow in the flood plains of slow-moving rivers and delta areas. Stands of lotus drop hundreds of thousands of seeds every year to the bottom of the pond. While some sprout immediately, and most are eaten by wildlife, the remaining seeds can remain dormant for an extensive period of time as the pond silts in and dries out. During flood conditions, sediments containing these seeds are broken open, and the dormant seeds rehydrate and begin a new lotus colony.$

This lotus leaf is a plant from the Amazon region of South America. It is known that the tree was planted at the temple in the 1990s and is one of the rarest lotus varieties in the Southeast. On average, each leaf has a diameter of up to 4-5m. The 5cm curved leaf edges stand up like a giant tray. Southerners therefore call it a gun. On the contrary, Northerners quickly think of quai Thao hats. According to science, this plant has the scientific name Victoria amazonica and belongs to the water lily family. Usually lotus leaves can withstand a weight of 50-80kg. With a weight over 100-150kg, you need to choose the largest leaf size to load. King lotus leaves are light green and have a smooth top surface. The underside is initially bright red but gradually darkens with large, sharp veins. Leaf size may shrink depending on the season. In particular, the lotus leaves in the dry season are only 1 meter in diameter. During the rainy season, absorbing water vapor helps the leaves expand, sometimes up to 5m. This lotus variety is also larger than many other types. The flowers are white in the morning and turn pale pink in the afternoon. They bloom quickly with bright colors. It only takes about 3-5 days for the flowers to bloom.
