Unknown species of Lotus spotted in the Kodai Hasu no Sato (Ancient Lotuses Park)in Gyoda, Saitama, Japan. The sign at the park called this one a "Pink Lotus", but I wasn't able to find that on any website. I have included the link to the parks official website in the references... if anyone out there in good with Japanese perhaps they can make the ID?

Probably the pink variety of Nymphaea alba. The lotus species (Nelumbium sp) is different, with leaves and flowers above the water, not floating.
