Thank you Nature Geographic!
Mysterious Flower,Stunning
I will! Thanks for the ID!
Veronica please separate your this spotting into 2 different spottings. Just edit and delete second picture. Just upload that picture in new spotting.
Yes different type of plants also like family and Genus, specie.
Second picture id of Nymphaea nouchali means Purple Lotus a Herb plant.
First picture Nelumbo nucifera means Giant Lotus a Climber plant.
first pic: Nelumbo nucifera
second pic: Nymphaea caerulea
- as far these are my best guesses
WOW these are stunning... but I think these photos are of two different kinds of lotus. Each spotting should be of just one kind of organism, so if you could delete the second photo and upload it as a separate spotting that would be great :D Then you'd have two beautiful spottings! I hope someone can ID these for you, I don't know plants that much, but there are some users on here who really do.
