Southern silks floral arrangements





Purple water lily of Cambodia grows almost entirely in very dirty, muddy or polluted waters. Water lilies like so many other plants convert pollution into something reusable by nature and humans.
The purple water lily is an example of how powerful God's nature is - to grow from dirty soil in dirty polluted water and to produce such splendid beauty and sweetest nectar for us.

Purple lotus in a clean green aquatic environment. Beautiful purple color - the purple lotus blossoms only in morning hours. Amazingly the purple lotus starts to close is blossom daily as early as 11 AM. Best time to make purple lotus photos is 8-10 AM with lotus blossom wide open and brilliant each day.

Pink tulips, Ottawa Tulip Festival

Form with five side, that presented the star shaped. And this purple colour Flower, also has the unique thing, in the middle, has something like the frozen ice...



One mother-plant dwarf lotus with several runners. Unique to this Cambodian dwarf lotus is the one mother plant brining up a long stem from the bottom of the pond. From each long stem originating from the mother plant - a small group of lotus leaves and several lotus flowers result in a small floating array. Once such a group of floating lotus leaves/flowers is completed, the dwarf lotus creates a runner some 50-100 cm long and then creates another floating array of leaves and lotus bl ossoms.
If you know the strawberry plant-runners, the dwarf lotus look very much the same. Hence most of these lotus leaves have NO direct connection to the mother plant or to the soil at the bottom of the pond, but only thru the runner with the previous lotus flower group floating at the water surface. An interesting anatomy / physiology of a lotus plant.
On the image you clearly see several long and stronger runners from group to group with small arrays of lotus leaves and lotus blossoms in each such lotus array.
Each such mini-arrangement has several leaves around the center and several blossoms. Typically a few blossoms are open at a time. Many tiny small lotus buds ready to blossom.
The following picture shows another dwarf lotus in natural environment in Cambodia.
