The lotus flower is thought of as being like a gentle person, who keeps themselves clean, alive and healthy in a dirty environment. The flower represents creative power and purity amid adverse surroundings. It is also a symbol of the seventh month, summer. In China, there are many poems about the lotus flower, often describing how they come out of the dirty mud under the water and yet retain their pureness, freshness and beauty. Another symbolic characteristic of the Chinese lotus flower leads from the observation that the plant's stalk is easy to bend in two, but is very hard to break because of its many strong sinuous fibres. The Chinese use this to represent a close unbreakable relationship between two lovers or the members within a family, reflecting the strength of the heart.
