About Lotus

The Lotus, belonging to the Nelumbo genus, is a captivating aquatic plant revered across cultures for its beauty and spiritual significance. Often confused with water lilies, lotuses are distinguished by their leaves and flowers which are held above the water surface. These flowers boast a complex structure with numerous petals arranged around a central seed pod. Lotuses are commonly used in floral arrangements, culinary applications (the seeds and roots are edible), and traditional medicine. They symbolize purity, enlightenment, and rebirth, making them a prominent motif in art and religion, particularly in Buddhism and Hinduism.

Size Overview

A Lotus blossom typically measures 250mm wide, 180mm high, and 250mm long (25.0cm x 18.0cm). Picture a compact basketball – a lotus is about the size of that when fully open. The height, at 18cm, is roughly as tall as a standard drinking glass. While a single lotus flower won't entirely fit in the palm of your hand, its cup-shaped form is easily grasped and appreciated. Understanding the lotus flower size helps you visualize its beauty and plan for incorporating it into arrangements or understanding its role in its natural habitat.
