Lotus seed pod
Every year I think I will make it too the Missouri Botanical Garden in time to see the lotus blooms. This year I made it,, just barely. There were maybe ten still in bloom and maybe another ten yet to bloom.
The best of what remained was far enough from shore to prohibit access. I did get a good shot of two blooms but they were not in the best of shape, probably owing to their close proximity to the shore.
I did get a good shot of one still opening and will post that next. For now, this "still green" seed pod is the greenest pod I've been fortunate enough to encounter.
