Re: lotus flower in fullerton garden
below are the cropped version, showing the reflection of the flower.
reason why i do this is because, it was the reflection of the flower in the water that caught me eyes, not the flower itself. why? i also dont know.  reflection  reflection

Re: lotus flower in fullerton garden
Hi Dennis,
Nothing to be embarrased about, as the flower between the lotus and Water lily are very similar. I can't even describe the difference. The easy way to differentiate them is thru the leaves. Water lily leaves are floating on the water surface. Lotus leaves are standing above the water held by its stalk. In a lot of religion Lotus symbolise purity as despite being in muddy water it is able to cleanse itself and rise above the muddy water. Rgds |
