It turns out that Lotus Flower Is Not the Same with Lotus

Is this lotus or Lotus, anyway? Often the question arises when I post a lotus or Lotus drawing on FB or IG from my friend. Sometimes friends are still confused to distinguish between the two.

And obviously this plant is different characters and shapes. Almost like hell, because this flower has a pier that is shaped like a fire burning brightly in the middle. Also equally aquatic plants.

Lotus or also called Nymphaea or Water Lily. Having a petal that is more regular, shaped taper and many stacked. More firmly shaped.
The flowers quickly wilted. It blooms in the morning, but by noon, the flowers become withered or buds back.

Both plants, can be used as an alternative filler garden at home. Treatment is easy, provided enough media. Usually the soil of mud is submerged in water. Also requires a lot of sun. When in the shade sometimes hard to bloom.

In addition to Lotus and Lotus, water plants are also many kinds. Such as Water Bamboo, Jasmine Water, Pachira, Typa and many more. If you want to apply in a garden of your own at home, can be made containers such as waterproof caskets, either round or box. Anyway according to the wishes and creations of each. It would be nice if we could take the time to plant gardening these flowers.
