What the lotus looks like at night

Lotus, a perennial aquatic plant, belongs to Nymphaeaceae, also known as lotus, lotus, hibiscus, etc., and is a traditional famous flower. Lotus leaves are round, with dark green surface, covered with a layer of waxy white powder, gray-green back and wavy edges. Petiole is cylindrical, with dense barbs. Lotus grows at the top of the pedicel and is lifted high out of the water, with single petal, compound petal, double petal and other patterns; The colors are white, pink, crimson and lavender. The flowering period is from June to September, and it is open every morning and closed at night. September-October is the fruit ripening period. The rhizome (lotus root) is large and knobby, growing horizontally in the mud at the bottom of the water. The reason why the lotus will come together at night is that it will bloom in the morning after a night of hard work, and it will close at night due to the photosynthesis of time. I have seen it with my own eyes!
