What is the color of a lotus leaf?

Answer 1

"Lotus" actually is a name for several different plants. All of them have green leaves although some varieties have green top sides with darker undersides. If the question is the color of the petals of the lotus flower - the answer depends on the plant.

Nelumbo nucifera (Sacred or Indian lotus) flowers are pink.

Nelumbo lutea (American or Yellow lotus) flowers are white to pale yellow. Nymphaea caerulea (Blue Lotus, Blue Egyptian water lily or sacred blue lily) flowers have pale bluish-white to sky-blue or mauve petals, smoothly changing to a pale yellow in the center of the flower.

Nymphaea lotus (Tiger Lotus, White lotus or Egyptian White Water-lily) flowers are white and sometimes tinged with pink.

Nymphaea nouchali (Red and blue water lily, Blue star water lily, or Star lotus) flowers are usually violet blue in color with reddish edges. Some varieties have white, purple, mauve or fuchsia-colored flowers.

"Lotus" can also refer to a genus that includes bird's-foot trefoils and deervetches and contains many dozens of species distributed world-wide. the leaves on these are green and the flowersare usually vivid yellow, but occasionally orange or red.

Saussurea (saw-wort or snow lotus) is a genus of about 300 species of flowering plants that are perennial herbaceous plants native to cool temperate and arctic regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. The flowers form in a dense head of small capitula, often completely surrounded in dense white to purple woolly hairs; the individual florets are also white to purple.

Ziziphus lotus is a deciduous shrub native to the Mediterranean region, including the Sahara in Morocco. It has shiny green leaves and produces small yellowish or whitish greenish blossoms that transition to small dark yellow fruit. It may have been the "lotus tree" of Greek mythology - or it could have been the related to the Jujube tree that the Greeks were referring to.

Diospyros lotus (Date-plum or Caucasian Persimmon) has leaves that are shiny and dark green on top and a dull lighter green underneath. Its blossoms are pink and white before they develop into the orange fruit.
