Nelumbo nucifera
Crazy good bloomer!
Another lotus that produces flowers all summer long! For proof, check out the buds on the group of pots in the picture. This variety is usually covered in cheerful yellow flowers with a heavy petal count. Early flowers usually have petaloid centers but as plants mature a few flowers will produce regular seed pods. It is listed as a large/tall variety but it stays a little shorter in our pots.
