lotus.dev is a generative botanical system — code that grows, blooms, and decays in real-time. Every visit produces a unique specimen, seeded from the moment of your arrival.

Built on recursive L-system algorithms and parametric curves, each petal follows growth rules borrowed from nature and corrupted by mathematics.

Zero image assets. Zero frameworks. The entire visual identity exists as pure code — CSS gradients, SVG paths, and seeded randomization.

Created at the intersection of computational aesthetics and botanical reverence. Beauty is a side effect of the algorithm.

// lotus.dev source
fn bloom(seed: u64) -> Petal[] {
  let phi = 1.618033988749;
  let angle = seed * phi * TAU;
  return unfurl(angle, depth: 7);
}
