A lotus is a tropical plant revered for its ability to thrive under challenging environments. The lotus’s thick stalk grows through muddy water, but the flower blossom floats on the surface with pristine layers of colorful petals and a cone-shaped center. Lotuses are found all over the world and have sacred historic and contemporary significance. In numerous cultures, people eat the lotus root. The lotus can also represent hope, rebirth, resilience, and enlightenment.
