A beautiful and clear lotus pond with a variety of smaller lotus flowers and leeches. This morning I spent most of the time in this pond walking in deep and clear water on mostly sandy bottom. By the end I had some leeches as my visitors ...
Lotus flower photography is only for nature lovers. To get wet, to get dirty at times very dirty and as today even to get bloody seems normal in my lotus photo experience. Thus while enjoying the beautiful lotus flowers you get a free medical treatment and body detoxification. Enjoy.

Many people have commented that the trade stands at this year's shows have been every bit as good as some of the gardens themselves, and at Tatton I have to agree. Many of the gardens created outside some of the nursery stands were exquisite and beautifully done.
I was particularly impressed with the display outside Brooklands nursery stand, which featured a swathe of perenni als in a range of pastel colours. It was just the thing to entice visitors into the stand to buy plants (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). I try to resist buying things, but I always like to take home something from the flower shows I work at, and in the end I chose a Dierama. I purchased a large plant from the plant societies marquee, which was accompanied by plenty of useful advice from the grower. Hopefully it will do well in a sunny free-draining spot I have in my new garden. I got at lot of attention as I walked back to our tent with it, I don't think I've had so many admiring glances in a long while. If you're ever at a flower show and want to get attract attention, forget waving a coloured umbrella and choose a large Dierama instead. Info from:
