Temple Lily-Lotus

Posted on July 24, 2009 by Mike

This temple lily or lotus flower grows wild in Thailand. It loves water and swampy ground. The flower is often used as part of an offering at a Buddhist Temple.

Once the flower is open the petals drop quickly living a green centre that if left to dry is ideal for flower arranging.

Equipment: Fuji Fine Pix S5000
