In case you don't know.. the lotus blossom is important to Buddist cultures.. because, legend (or the story?) goes that BUDDA was born on a lotus blossom. That is why you'll see it on carvings, paintings, etc.. in countries that participate in the Buddist religion. *iwouldratherbeknitting knows this because she has lived in various ASIAN countries for 14 years. It just doesn't seem like that much time has passed.

Those are gorgeous pictures. Here in the L.A. area is Echo Park and there is a gorgeous "lake" (man-made) with lotus flowers. They have a festival every year. I should try and get some pics next time I'm going to Downtown to the bead shops. That purple is beautiful. I believe the ones here are white, if I remember correctly.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for posting these pictures!
p.s. I just tagged you with a meme, on my blog.
