Lotus Flower

Macro

“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

This was many of the beautiful Lotus flowers at Kew Gardens and it makes it all worthwhile when you see sights like this.

LOTUS & WATER LILIES

© ajpscs

Non-emergent leaves of the American lotus (Nelumbo lutea, Nelumbonaceae) lie on the water surface in a wetland pond of Lake Butte des Morts in Terrell's Island Preserve in Winnebago County between Oshkosh and Omro, Wisconsin.

Note the lotus effect, which causes water to bead up and eventually wash off keeping the leaf clean and able to perform efficient photosynthesis.

A pretty American Lotus (Nelumbo lutea) flower, nonnative and very invasive at Wildwood Lake in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Quite hard to control.

Thank you for visiting!
