This is a photo I took last year on a trip to Brussels Botanic Garden. It is a Nelumbo nucifera or Sacred lotus blossom.
A beautiful bloom you’ve captured. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the appreciation ☺
This is really beautiful!
Thank you very much, Ellie! 🙂
What a beautiful flower! And amazing photo, too. 🙂
Thank you for the appreciation!
What a fantastic pink lotus, Norman. It’s a wonderful gift from Brussels
Thank you, Albert. It is indeed! The Botanic Garden there is wonderful 🙂
Aha! Yay ~~~ A first entry. Thank you so much for sharing this pink beauty, I have missed seeing your photography. Such talent shouldn’t be hidden. Share more! What a fantastic lotus, I can see why its called sacred!
Thanks very much for the warm welcome, Kim 🙂 I’ve not been taking many photos for several months, but I took some in Portugal recently. Hopefully I’ll get back into it, cos it sure is fun to share!
Tis a new year, with all kinds of fun possibilities. Do get out, even in the snow!
A man of many talents. A stunning macro Norman. The flower is gorgeous.
Many thanks, Carol, but I won’t take credit for the flower’s beauty 😉
But you photographed the beauty and brought it to us. 🙂
Well thank you. I accept your compliment with grace 🙂
So this beauty first published her in TSU
Not this photo, Elenka. It was 2017 I was in Brussels, long after there was no more Tsu!
Very pretty flower, and a nice addition to the challenge!
Many thanks, Mom. My first time entering a Color Crazy challenge since Tsu!
Well it’s a great photo for the challenge! 🙂
Beautiful photo of a beautiful flower!
Thank you for the appreciation, Bragi 🙂
