Lotus in bloom





















My pink lotus bloomed again, this time in a size larger than my fist!  It looks magnificient.  Another water plant, I don't recall its name, with heliconia-like leaves and mauve blooms on a spray that goes zig-zag, looks lovely when it dances in the wind.

A small addition of a miniature orchid.

The light from the sunset today was caught on the spines of a few of my cookbooks I brought over from SG.  Though I haven't cooked any of these recipes, they made good reference material.  Over the last few months, I added more to the collection, wonder how I will ship them back when I'm done here....
