Nelumbo nucifera
Look for the pot of gold in the center!
'Moonlight over Qinhuai' is a large versicolor with perfect color and shape. The unusual shade of dusty pink with the gold tones in the center is very unique. The blooms begin early in the summer and continue. The flowers are large and the petals are perfectly stacked as the flower ages to allow you to see the all the lovely colors. This lotus boasts HUGE seed pods. Yes, YOU WANT THIS LOTUS!
