The most impressive flower in the water garden at Como Zoo is the lotus. Although the lotus is an aquatic plant it is not a waterlily. The main difference is the circular seed pod in the center of the lotus which is much different from the structure of the water lily. Seeds from the seed pod can remain viable for years, under the right conditions.
The Lotus is always a joy to behold and you have captured it so well.
