Lotus

Lotus

The Lotus is considered the “flower of Buddha”. It is an emergent flower, rising above the water from a long, strong stem anchored to the muddy bottom of the pond. With its growth from the muddy water to the air, it symbolizes transcendence and is considered a divine and sacred plant.


Located at the back of the Koi Pond, the Lotus plants have been transplanted from the pond on Chief Justice Kay McFarland’s property into the Koi pond at the Kay McFarland Japanese Garden.
