After the lotus blooms, the lotus dies, but the lotus root is still alive in the mud, and will sprout again the following spring. By looking at the situation, I think you can realize the truth that the connection of life and all things are always changing. Even if the lotus root dries up, you will realize the transience of it, and learn the importance of fulfilling the finite life.
