Beautiful photo!

I used to grow Lotus commercially. What does the word ‘Padma’ mean?

Thanks for stopping by, Yoga, walt, and Grace.

walt – Padma is Sanskrit and Tibetan for lotus. It’s one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhist teaching. I thought it was appropriate for a serene Silent Sunday post.

Grace – It’s real. Thanks, I hope that means it looks so nice that it’s hard to believe it’s real.

Lots of silence here, but also much beauty.

So pretty. I’m a huge fan of the color coral and the pink/coral combination is lovely. Also, I like looking at spring flowers as we enter into winter. Keeps me from being fully depressed. Keep ‘em comin’!

Where do you live that you are surrounding by so many beautiful scenes? I’m jealous… :-)

Hi drjay. I just noticed that W posted this the morning my dad died, but before he knew…7 a.m. actually. Anyway, thank you. The setting sun cast the golden light on this blossom. I’m glad W chose to post it–I hoard photos, for some odd reason.

Hi Walt, and thanks for stopping by. I see that W answered your question.

Hi Grace, and thanks. I see that W answered your question also.

Hi Jennifer, and thank you. And how appropriate for this solemn day. W couldn’t have (unknowingly) chosen a better photo, I think.

Hi and thanks so much, Kathy. I think I promised a bunch of springtime stuff last summer when it was so hot, yet didn’t follow through. I must do better!

Hi Darvin and thanks for stopping by. This was taken at a garden park in Northern Virginia. I’m sure you have something just as beautiful closer to you than you think. :o)
