The
American Lotus is an aquatic plant native to North and Central America. It's large blossoms can be be over ten inches in diameter. This picture was taken at the Lotus Garden Park in Virginia Beach Virginia. The park is located near the intersection of Sandbridge and Colchester Roads. In the 1980's upstream pollution wiped out the native Lotus plants here. Twenty years later with more attention paid to water quality, the plants are returning to their former glory. Canon 40D, 1/600 sec @ f/5.0, ISO 400, 180mm focal length.

Have been looking at your photos over the last few days, very nice. The yellows in this bloom are like lemon icing! Really nice.
Thanks Janet for the comment and following the blog. These blooms are really spectacular and the light was good late in the afternoon.
