Lotus seeds - resemble a shower head?



In appreciation of the support of a blog pal, Kenny Point of Gardening Secret, I decided to post photos of lotus for his viewing pleasure. Lotus is a sacred plant to me as it represents purity. Though it is grown in muddy water, it still can grow elegantly. Its flowers are just facinating and we can feel the atmosphere of calmness and peacefulness when lotus bloomed. When the flower faded, the seed will grow and they are edible. The seeds taste nice and chrunchy. Most Chinese believe the seeds have medicinal values. The lotus roots are well-liked by the Chinese to boil lotus root soup, and believe me, the soup tastes delicious. So, what we can see here is that lotus plant is a very useful plant to all of us. Perhaps Kenny Point may want to try to plant some lotus plants in his garden.
