Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Nelumbo nucifera, known by a number of names including Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, or simply lotus, is a plant in the Nelumbonaceae family. Botanically, Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) may also be referred to by its former names, Nelumbium speciosum (Wild.) or Nymphaea nelumbo. This plant is an aquatic perennial. Under favorable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China.[1]

A common misconception is referring to the lotus as a water-lily (Nymphaea), an entirely different plant as can be seen from the centre of the flower, which clearly lacks the structure that goes on to form the distinctive circular seed pod in the Nelumbo nucifera.[citation needed] It should also be noted that water-lilies come in various colors, whereas the lotus has flowers only in hues of pink, or white.[citation needed]

Native to Greater India[citation needed] and commonly cultivated in water gardens, the lotus is the national flower of India and Vietnam.

The roots of Nelumbo nucifera are planted in the soil of the pond or river bottom, while the leaves float on top of the water surface. The flowers are usually found on thick stems rising several centimeters above the water. The plant normally grows up to a height of about 150&_160;cm and a horizontal spread of up to 3&_160;meters, but some unverified reports place the height as high as over 5&_160;meters. The leaves may be as large as 60&_160;cm in diameter, while the showy flowers can be up to 20&_160;cm in diameter.

1. The Greenhouse and the Greenhouse Contractor
August 05, 2009

First you began germinating Fig Marigolds, Hortensia, and Lavenders in your guest bedroom, during the winter, with a humidifier and fluorescent lamps. That summer, you’re turned on by the beauty and resilience of aquatic plants, so you convert your kids’ giant plastic pool to cultivate sacred purple and pink water lilies and lotuses, like the Nelumbo nucifera, symbolizing eternal life in Buddhism. Next, you want to create a delicious garden to grow exotic New Zealand yams, Jicamba, and Tamarillo tomatoes. Your wife is enamored of a green lifestyle as well, and suggests building a greenhouse, i... (read more)
