This is the American Lotus (Nelumbo Lutea), also called the Water Chinquapin. The American Lotus comes in white or yellow. The seeds that form in the center of the cone-shaped pod of the flower remain viable for 1200 years. The Lotus flower is sacred to Buddhism. It is also a symbol of good luck and good health, which is my wish for all of us.
