Cool shot! The middle of the flower looks almost artificial. Fantastic detail in the petals.

@jenrobcarr I guess they are mainly tropical flowers Jen. And thanks :)

@alia_801 Thank you Alia. I love the centre pod, you're right it does look artificial.

Lots of great recipes for lotus root but you can also eat the seed. Pretty shot of this one, Sheralee.

Gorgeous Sheralee. It looks like a heart and is beautiful even though it's wilting. Reminds me of someone growing old, beautiful because of the wrinkles and the fading eyesight! Lovely.

Diana Feeney
LOVE it - this is a fabulous shot Sheralee. It looks like the lotus is exhausted and having a rest.

@murnane Oh, that's a sweet analogy Marg. I want to age like a Lotus then :)

@girlie Thanks Robin, that's interesting! There's so many things we would never think of eating that are edible, like my torch ginger flowers.

Steve Helvey
dumb question....that yellow showerhead-looking circle is part of the flower right? It almost looks manmade.
May 21st, 2011  
Henriette Sparkes
Fantastic shot of that!

Sheralee S
@shelvey It does look like plastic doesn't it? That is apparently the fruit because it is edible and the little dots are the seed pods.
