I always enjoy the pretty lotus plant, soft velvet petals, large round green leaves, with a few water pearl floating on top, I can keep admiring them all day long.  Thank you Amann.

norman.ho if you are living in Australia at the moment it is no so difficult for you to keep a pot or a big bowl of Lotus. You may choose front or back garden to place this beautiful plant.

Too lazy la.  I use to have two ponds one running from the top driveway down to another at the front garden, but they are very neglected now.  Too much work to have them renovated.  Love going to botanic garden where there are big lily ponds.  There is no bloom at winter though.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb4 A: h7 o0 R/ c& @: v!

Has Amann recovered from her FIFA World Cup fever yet?
