“Lotus flowers lead harrowing journeys. Their seeds sprout in murky swamp water, thick with dirt and debris and snarls of roots. For a lotus to bloom, she must forge her way through this terrible darkness, avoid being eaten by fish and insects, and keep pressing onward, innately knowing, or at least hoping, that there is sunlight somewhere above the water's surface, if she can only summon the strength to get there. And when she does, she emerges unscathed by her journey and blooms triumphantly.”
― Sarah Jio, All the Flowers in Paris

A pretty American Lotus (Nelumbo lutea) flower, nonnative and very invasive at Wildwood Lake in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Quite hard to control.
Thank you for visiting!

Non-emergent leaves of the American lotus (Nelumbo lutea, Nelumbonaceae) lie on the water surface in a wetland pond of Lake Butte des Morts in Terrell's Island Preserve in Winnebago County between Oshkosh and Omro, Wisconsin.
Note the lotus effect, which causes water to bead up and eventually wash off keeping the leaf clean and able to perform efficient photosynthesis.

The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and deepest symbols of our planet. The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. ... Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck.

Lotus berthelotii, also known as the 'Parrot's Beak' due to the shape of the bright red flower which presents itself from the fine, trailing silver foliage. One of my favorites ;-))
