    いつもの事ながら、Minoruさんの勢力的なTrip 驚いています。素晴らしい！私は一日出かけたら1週間休んでいます。タワーの中の蓮の花のアレンジメント芸術的ですね。本物の土にさしてあるのでしょうか？スポンジ？

      Dear Tomoko sama.
      こんばんは。ありがとうございます。多分土と思います。清掃工場を作るため沼地の土を掘ったら、その沼地の蓮の種が目覚めて、古代蓮が育ったと言われています。ロマンあふれるストーリーが有りました。

    Gorgeous!! these fragile colorful blossoms are so beautiful. And It is the first time that I see white lotus blooms... So magical place for sure. We have in Baile Felix, a balnear resort, and so there are lotus blossoms and water lilies in a natural reserve. The water is very warm and the variety of Nymphaea lotus f. thermalis or "nufărul termal" can be cultivated so well.
    Many thanks for sharing the splendor of nature.
    A nice day and weekend!

    7月の花といえば、蓮の花。私のポストも蓮の一生です。古代蓮と言えば大賀蓮とばかり思っていました。藤原京跡や万葉植物園では大賀蓮が綺麗です。今回、行田蓮を知りました。古代の種が時空をこえて咲き続ける、やはり蓮にはそういうロマンがありますね。

      Dear Yoko sama.
      こんばんは。ありがとうございます。蓮には何故何百年何千年の時空を超えて生き残るシステムをもっているのかとても不思議です。　ラマンが有りますね。カラシレンコンも美味しいですが。

    This lotus garden at Gyoda in Saitama is really like a heavenly place on earth with so many types of lotuses and lilies in pretty different colours. This is how the Buddhism's Western Paradise is suppose to be. I would love to visit this place.

      　Dear Twilight Man.
      Thank you very much for your comment. I think the Western Paradise would be full of lotus flowers.
