Nelumbo nucifera
Always a Show-Stopper!!
'Pretty is as pretty does' is an old saying that means your actions are as important as your appearance. Well, 'Pretty Flower' deserves its name because it is easy to grow and is a prolific flower producer as well as being a stunningly beautiful flower.
'Pretty Flower' sometimes has green petals on the first day! The full double flower is beautiful every day, though, as it changes to a heavenly velvety cream-colored flower whose petals are tipped in light purple-pink. A sharply pointed tip delineates each petal clearly, giving the flower an unusual presence. One of the most 'organized' flowers in the garden - the petals are beautifully arranged throughout the life of the flower.
