The lotus grows in water, and its blooming period is from June to September. In the green lotus pond in summer, you can always see lotus flowers standing gracefully on the water, creating the beautiful scene of "Endless green leaves reaching the sky, the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red." Its fruit,莲子 (lotus seeds), can be eaten and made into delicious lotus seed soup.
