Garden of Eden descendents.
We tried to get this lily pads to grow in our lake,
but we could not overcome either the turtles
or the freezing winters...maybe when Dave actually retires, we will be more successful.
As you can see, the lily pads can take over the
whole pond, so we will have take care with that
too.
The Lotus festival was
held now because the lotus flowers were blooming. They are held in very high regard in Eastern societies and religions. It begins life in dark mud and then as it grows and reaches the light, it becomes beautiful. It is a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. Many Hindu and Buddist gods are depicted sitting or standingon the Lotus flower for this reason.
