The twin lotus is a variant of the lotus. In fact, it produces two flowers on a single stem; each flower has its own calyx, and the calyces are joined together on the flower stem, so some people also call it the twin-head lotus, twin-heart lotus, joy-sharing lotus, or auspicious lotus.

The twin lotus is a rare treasure among lotuses, with a probability of occurrence of only one in 100,000, making it a "twin" among plants that is seen only once in a decade. Its genetic mechanism is still under study, and it cannot currently be replicated. Lotus experts have repeatedly conducted cultivation experiments using lotus roots that once grew twin lotus flowers and lotus seeds from twin lotus seed pods, but the results failed to produce twin lotus flowers, confirming that it is not heritable and can only arise naturally. In Tinglin Park in Kunshan City, there is a twin lotus pond, and in June 2011 a rare "twin lotus" was also discovered in Chating Park in Fuzhou.
