Lotus (plant)

Okay kiddo, today we're going to talk about lotus plants! Lotus plants are really cool plants that grow in water. They have big beautiful flowers that come in lots of different colors like pink, white, and yellow.

Now, lotus plants start off as little seeds that are planted in mud at the bottom of a pond or lake. They sit there for a while, until they're ready to start growing. When they're ready, little shoots will grow up from the seeds and poke through the mud and the water. These shoots keep growing and growing until they reach the surface of the water.

Once they're above the surface of the water, the shoots start to grow into big, flat leaves. These leaves can be up to three feet across, which is really big! And because they're flat, they're great for things like sitting on or using as a plate if you're in a hurry.

But the coolest thing about lotus plants is their flowers. Lotus flowers are really big and beautiful. And they don't just look pretty - they're also very useful. People can use them to make tea, and in some cultures, they're even used in religious ceremonies.

So there you have it, kiddo - a quick lesson on lotus plants. They're great plants that grow in water, with big leaves and beautiful flowers. And they're even good for making tea!
