2 white lotus blossoms side by side in a little clean pond.
This lotus pond is so clean to invite for a bath! Yet with all the photo equipment carried along, the fun part has to be postponed for a later encounter with God's beautiful nature. First work, then fun. That reminds me now that while living in an island paradise, my last bath in the ocean was exactly one year ago. May be time for a bath soon ...
This small white lotus belongs to the smaller reddish lotus leaves on the photo. The large green lotus leaf belongs to either a large white or large pink lotus flower currently without blossom.

Photo shows lotus seeds - edible like nuts - each seed the size of an Acorn.
Lotus seeds are delicious. The size of a lotus seed is approximately the same as the size of an Acorn. The taste of a fresh and fully ripe lotus seed is somehow comparable to fresh - i.e. un-dried - hazelnuts. Lotus seeds are commonly eaten in Cambodia. Another part of the lotus flower used as food resource are lotus flower stems before they rich the water surface, hence before the lotus buds start to grow. The lotus leaves sometimes are used to wrap food. The common use of lotus parts as widely spread and most valuable food resource is the reason why in Cambodia so many large lotus ponds and lotus fields are maintained. Low maintenance / NO maintenance but a rich source of healthy food. In addition the lotus ponds accommodate a variety of other edible aquatic life such as fish, frogs, edible snails and much more.
At this point the life cycle of a lotus flower ends, new buds grow, open and blossom in full God made beauty for the joy and wellbeing of mankind.
