With the flowers displaying their pretty subtle different shades of reddish/purplish color on their petals, with great contrast and sharpness we can see clearly the deeper purple veins running up from the stem to the tip; so beautiful; amazing shots. 9 Q+ R; ~0 G1 n L( _4 g. p5.39.217.77公仔箱論壇 a7 u% F0 ^7 h2 }, A5 z# U
But please pardon my ignorance. The way I differentiate 蓮花 (lotus flower) and 荷花 (water lily) is that the lotus leaves rise highup above the water, while the lily leaves float flat on the surface of water. They both have attractive flowers, yet they are different. These photos are 蓮花, right? 1 ~7 F. s$ x1 @6 K1 b2 ~( `2 gtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb 5 C+ d% z+ O5 f/ ^# a( T' Z5.39.217.77When I was little, around 6 or 7; one of my relative had a water feature.
