Nelumbo nucifera
Very big pink bud and when open it has a big seedpod. The leaves of this kind are rather frilly. Often the lotus is confused with the Lilly.
Thailand
The way the Thai greet each other and us is by holding the hands in front of their body/face. This represents the lotus bud, which is very important in Thai Buddhist Culture. This Lotus was in my garden in 2007, but I have not managed to get it to flower since.
