Absolutely, the word "lotus" does have a plural form! It's "lotuses." While the lotus flower itself symbolizes purity and beauty in many cultures, the word "lotus" in the English language follows the regular conventions for making nouns plural. That is, by adding an "es" at the end. So, one flower is a "lotus," but if you're lucky enough to see many, you'd say you saw a bunch of "lotuses." Just like how one bus becomes two buses, one lotus flower can multiply into a whole pond of lotuses. Isn't language blooming marvelous?
