The American lotus flowers in the lake have started to bloom. I think this was one was the first to bloom as it is the largest; there are plenty of buds for a spectacular show at the end of July.
I remember that in the '70s my mother had a lamp like this in the dining room of the house. They still sell them online in the vintage section.
Lotus.

The white pedals look rather like swans or else, the Spirit of Ecstasy (The Flying Lady of Rolls Royce) or even the shawls that "Lawrence of Saudi Arabia" used to wear... Anyway, the image as a whole reminds me of the birth of Jesus in the manger: the haystacks, Mary and Joseph, the angels and the 3 kings etc...
"So vibrant and full of vitality. Wonderful view of the amazing interior."

“Lotus flowers lead harrowing journeys. Their seeds sprout in murky swamp water, thick with dirt and debris and snarls of roots. For a lotus to bloom, she must forge her way through this terrible darkness, avoid being eaten by fish and insects, and keep pressing onward, innately knowing, or at least hoping, that there is sunlight somewhere above the water's surface, if she can only summon the strength to get there. And when she does, she emerges unscathed by her journey and blooms triumphantly.”
― Sarah Jio, All the Flowers in Paris
