They are indeed magnificent flowers – but being pedantic, I think they’re lotus, Mark, not water lilies, which lie on, or just above the water, while lotus always stand proud of the water, and have that characteristic seed capsule at their core. (Please don’t be cross with me!)

The colors are breathtaking. I like how the colors of the flowers just pop out at you.
Thank you, so happy you like it 🙂
WOW this is my new favorite of yours!
Thank you 🙂
I’m a pushover for a flower and these are glorious…they look like they’ve been painted.
Thank you so much Claire, your comment is appreciated.

Yes you are correct :)…In China they are called Lilies
They’re all called lilies? Interesting. Thanks. I’m glad I blundered: now I know:)
Did you notice I changed the name of that post ? 🙂
Now you point it out to me, there it is “Lotus Flower”! 🙂
