Nelumbo nucifera
This large lotus flower has a soft violet purple tint when fully open although ‘Purple Gold’ is considered a member of the Red class of lotus. The carpels are often petaloid (puffy and empty) adding a bright splash of gold in the center. The orange stamen contrasts beautifully with the rich pink and really make the color pop!
