The lotus is known by the name of waterlily in England. This one flower thrives on a calm surface. The leaf part also flowers floating on the water surface while the rhizomanya stalk is in the bottom of a muddy pond, swamp or river. Lotus flower stalk is in the middle of the leaf. The leaves themselves are roundabout with green wana and without coated wax so that the water that falls into them will not form a grain of water. The lotus flower consists of approximately 50 species spread evenly in tropical to subtropical countries around the world.

Although identical with the Korean and Japanese, but reportedly the lotus flower that thrives in Asia actually comes from Egypt. In Ancient Egypt, the lotus or lotus flower was reportedly flooded the banks of the Nile. There are two types of lotus flowers that are recognized from Egypt namely Nympheaea Caerulea and Nympheaea Lotus. This Caerulea variant is short-lived only a day. It blooms in the morning and at night he will drown in the bottom of the water. Meanwhile the Nympheaea type Lotus instead, it actually blooms at night and buds in the morning.
