From bud to flower to seed pod and seed dispersal, that is the brief summer and monsoon life of the lotus plant above water. For the rest of the year, the kamal plant is mostly dormant. See also how the nanoscopic structure contributes to its hydrophobic surface properties. See what all we can learn about the nanoscopic surface feature of a lotus leaf, and adapt the same to daily life practices, through science applications.
A Lotus or the all-Indian kamal flower sheds petals and goes into seeding mode. See slow motion action of this occurring before your eyes, during the monsoon season. As water droplets wall upon the flower, the petals drop off, exposing the yellow seed pod which then develops into the full fledged lotus seeding pod. The seeds will turn larger and black, from being small and green, and will shed into the same water body, for future growth.
Lotus life cycle of budding flowering and seeding
Indian Lotus, Sacred Lotus, Bean of India, or simply Lotus, is a plant in the Nelumbonaceae family called as Nelumbo nucifera. This plant is an aquatic perennial. The leaves may be as large as 60 cm in diameter, while the showy flowers can be up to 20 cm in diameter.
This video shows water droplets falling on Lotus leaves, during the Indian monsoon. The lotus has a strange surface tension oil that completely drains off water, without wetting the surface! This is now being adapted into a new nanotechnology based technology to make wet suits that will not wet the wearer!
