very cool, Ian. I've never seen one of these other than pictures.

Thanks for the info, Ian. 12" blossoms! That's amazing! Would love to see one of these in person sometime. Helen

Beautiful and exotic, I love Lotus flowers. This would look even better in water, I think.

Wow, thanks a lot all! This is my first try at one of these challenges. I just realized looking at another persons picture that dropping the color out of the background might have been a good idea. Oh well - Next time. I have more to post though. I guess I just got lucky to hit a tropical country during this challenge.

Helen, these are water plants with the typical floating leaves. I looked it up on the internet to find out what exactly it is (I had never seen one either - and their huge!:).

Ian, I really like the interesting, almost alien-looking, central detail and color of this lotus...well captured. MFC

This bloom sure looks weird but it sure is pretty. Good job in capturing this exotic beauty!

Ian, what a beautiful photo. Is the water Lotus just found around or in Ponds? Its so hot here, are they shade flowers? Just gorgeous!
