Sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera 'Pure Girl')

Fantasica-- lotus in my garden. Since I bought it bloomed three times. Need to resoil every year and fertilizing each month. Sun is the most important element for it's blooming. It smells fresh and aquatic, reminiscent of a serene embien.The scent of lotus reduces anxiety in nightso the body as well as mind relax and rest. It is sacred for rebirth, strength and purity. #photocontest
