I'm thinking, are we sure it is a lotus?
You have started me on a mission...!
And I dragged youngest son in too.
We went and found the flower and by golly,
I think we have a conumdrum

It does look like a lotus.
But it is down on the water.
Just a bit raised, actually, which made
me think it might be a tropical lily.
But not a lotus as they always are way
above the water....? Like their leaves.

Looks like a lily to me, but not really enough context for a good ID. The
only visible leaves appear to be on the water surface, though.
