What Is Pink Lotus?
Lotus is often confused with water lily, and although the plants are often sold interchangeably, it is important to know the difference. The pink and white lotus that we sell are true lotus plants. Our red and blue lotus are in the water lily family, although they are often referred to as lotus and used as such.
