Description
After the white lotus or Nelumbo nucifera is done blooming, the alien like seed pods remain. The pods emerge after the flower has dried and fallen away and gradually turn brown and fall into the water. The seeds fall out to become next years plants leaving the dried empty seed pods behind. When fully dried the lotus pods are popular for flower arrangements and home decor. I found this lotus seed pod growing in Sandusky Bay in Sandusky, Ohio.
