Twin lotuses are known as the “gentleman among flowers” and are the ultimate in lotus flowers, symbolizing a long-lasting love and eternal unity. The lotus, with one stem and two blooming flowers, can be regarded as a symbol of unity, happiness, and birth. In ancient literary works, the lotus is known as a symbol of love between husband and wife, happiness, and the lingering love between men and women. In folklore, the appearance of the lotus is an auspicious sign.
