Zoom-up photos of lotus flowers

Large lotus species are in full bloom at the foot of Mt. Ogura in Sagano.
Regarding the lotus , I explain the following to my guests: “Lotus and Buddhism are closely related,“The lotus flower symbolizes enlightenment,” “Many Buddhist statues are sitting on a pedestal made of lotus petals,” “The peach, which is said to be a sacred fruit, is an image of a lotus bud,” and “The seed part is not a shower head.”
