Aquatic plant Chapter

German iris Plant introduction:
It is also known as water hibiscus, etc., as

a perennial aquatic herb flower of lotus. Its
character of coming out of sludge without being
contaminated is widely praised. “Green lotus
leaves outspread as far as boundless sky; pink

lotus blossoms take from sunshine a new dye”
vividly describes the beauty of lotus. Lotus is
always a topic for poets, such as the poem “I

love only the lotus for rising from the mud but
is not stained, bathed by clear waves but is not
seductive. Inside, it is open; outside, it is straight.
It neither crawls nor forks.”

Quantity and distribution:

Every summer, more than 900 pots of beautiful
and noble lotus will be placed in BBAC Star Lake
and Wish Lake.
