Lotus Flower or is it Nelumbo ?

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

During a recent visit to a beautiful garden here in central NJ, we came upon the blooming lotus flowers. At least I always thought they were Lotus. But a quick google search is causing me some consternation; is it Lotus or Nelumbo?


ISO 100 - 250mm - f/6.3 - 1/500

The leaves float on top of the water and are humongous!


ISO 100 - 84mm - f/6.3 - 1/200



Either way, they are amazing and beautiful. Enjoy!
