How to play

Tap it to lift the flower out of the water and open it. Hands-on: lift it, drop it in: splash.

Notes

Its leaves are covered in tiny waxy bumps, so water rolls off in beads and carries the dirt away with it. Lotus seeds can last a very long time: one more than 1,000 years old has sprouted.

Tap it and the flower folds into a bud, rises out of the water on its stalk as a ring of ripples spreads, and opens wide in the air, the outer petals first. Then it sinks back onto its leaf, still open. With ✋ Hands-on on, lift the flower off its leaf (rings of ripples run out over the pond) and drop it back in: it splashes, dips under and bobs back up.
