A few days ago, in the lotus pond in front of the Strange Stone Hall on the north shore of Daming Lake in Jinan, a Wang lotus quietly bloomed. The pink king lotus flower is elegant and moving, and the emerald green leaves and colorful water lilies are in the same pool, attracting many tourists to stop and watch. In addition, there is a king lotus flower in the lotus pond that has buds to be placed.
Wang Lian is the largest leaf plant among aquatic plants in the world, with strange disc-like leaves and a diameter of more than 3 meters.
The flowers of Wang Lian can only bloom for a maximum of 3 days, the first petal of the bud is usually unfolded in the afternoon, and the flower is generally fully open in the evening, when the flower color is pure and white with a light fragrance; By dawn the next day, Wang Lian's flowers began to close, and in the evening, Wang Lian's flowers bloomed again, and the flower color was pink to dark red; On the third day the flowers close and sink into the water to bear fruit.
It is precisely because of the short flowering period and the change of flower color that Wang Lian is also known as the "fickle goddess". (Lv Chuanquan)
