Lotus Nevadensis

The lotus nevadensis, also known as the desert lotus, is a rare and resilient plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States. It thrives in harsh desert environments where water is scarce and temperatures can be extreme. This plant is characterized by its striking white or pink flowers that bloom during the summer months. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its limited distribution and subtle appearance. Its unique adaptations make it an important species for studying plant survival in extreme climates.
