There are two symmetrical openings around the leaf's edge, which allow water to flow away when it rains. Without them, water would remain on the leaf and make it harder for the plant to photosynthesize.

While the lotus will be in the garden all year, the best time to see it is from June to October, according to the schedule released by the garden.
