Lotus
Souvenir Sheet of 2 stamps
Canada 2018 #3087
MNH

An aquatic perennial, the lotus grows from root-like rhizomes that form in the bottom of shallow ponds and marshes, producing leaves and flowers that rise above the water. The two species of lotus plants featured on these stamps are the pink and white sacred lotus (_Nelumbo nucifera_) and the creamy yellow American lotus (_Nelumbo lutea_).
The national flower of India and Vietnam, the sacred lotus is a symbol of divine beauty that carries deep religious significance for Buddhists and Hindus. It is native to tropical and temperate regions of Asia and Australia.
Rare and threatened, the American lotus needs warmth and sunshine to survive. Its northern grow limits are the shores of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair in southern Ontario, with other populations found in wetlands across the eastern United States and as far south as Honduras.
