Description
Lotus High As The Sky,
Today hubby and I attended the Lotus and Water Lily festival at the Kenilworth Aquatics Garden in Washington, DC. We had never been, this was our first time.
The lotus flowers were exquisite. I have never seen lotus' before. It's amazing how these very tall plants and flowers grow in water.
A little bit about the Lotus plant.
Today I learned that the formal name of this plant is called Nelumbo Nucifera, The lotus plant is also known as Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, and Egyptian bean. And the really cool piece of information I learned today is that a single lotus can live to be over a thousand years old. Wow!! Enjoy! Emmy Vickers,
