OT ~ iphone ad
Just made note of the fact that the ads
for the iphone open with a picture of a waterlily. May not be able to afford one of those fancy phones but I do have the real thing in my pond! k :-) |

Lotus, says k, lotus?
(Someday I will tell you the sad story of k and the pursuit of a lotus flower) I'm thinking, are we sure it is a lotus? You have started me on a mission...! And I dragged youngest son in too. We went and found the flower and by golly, I think we have a conumdrum http://tinyurl.com/39v5n3 It does look like a lotus. But it is down on the water. Just a bit raised, actually, which made me think it might be a tropical lily. But not a lotus as they always are way above the water....? Like their leaves. And then we started thinking - this is the advertising world! Since when do they bother with the truth? They might just have photo shopped in a lotus close to the water as it looks so pretty. I did find a bunch of funny utube snippets about iphone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i6xMHK4t50 This one is so on if you live surrounded by teenage - 20ish males as I do from time to time. Be warned it is rather raw. k :-) |

Hard to say, but you are right, lotus would be more out of the water.

Looks like a lily to me, but not really enough context for a good ID. The only visible leaves appear to be on the water surface, though. -- derek - Unless otherwise noted, I speak for myself, not rec.ponds.moderated moderators. |

I suppose one of us could scrape together
the $600+ and buy one and study it up close but I'd rather spend that money on a new deck - all the better to view the pond with - where I have real lilies. (Lotus, much to my chagrin, is a plant that will not cooperate with me!) k :-) |

Who would have thought that the child who takes everything apart, would grow up with a job to take everything apart. ;-) ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
