    I am posting this thread to compare the Nelumbo Nuciferous (lotus flower) with the 10/29/06 of the Leucospermum cordifolium or Orange Pin-Cushion Plant.

    Although I have taken hundreds of digital photos of the lotus flower in various stages of bloom, pollination, and seed dispersal, it wasn't until I saw the photo of this Proteaceae that the obvious outward rather than inward direction became clear. Thanks.

    Very nice --- I like the color gradation on the foreground petal

    Thank you. It amazes me that the Lotus burst from the water, blossoms, and drops its petals in the period of three to four days.
