I don't think so. During the wet season when water levels rise they just seem to produce leaves.

You need to be careful with trimming leaves. One way to get rid of Lotus is to cut the leaves off below the water. A rot seems to get into the stem and travels down into the root system. Let them die off first or cut them off above the water.
