Lotus Flower, Bora Bora

I came across this lovely flower in an outdoor atrium/koi pond at a hotel of all places.  This plant is an aquatic perennial. Under favorable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1,300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China.
