Masterpiece photos of lotus flowers

The leaves spread out, hanging round on the water surface, cherishing, protecting, sometimes like giant hands, reaching out to embrace each flower are unique images of lotus flowers on ponds and lakes in many northern provinces.

Every June is the season when lotus flowers bloom in many ponds in the northern provinces. During this time, the weather is constantly hot and sunny. This is the time when Vietnam's national flower has the opportunity to shine its radiant beauty.

The lotus is a gymnosperm, living in the mud during the winter and only growing and blooming in the summer. The root is cylindrical and grows from the lotus tuber with many long slender branches. The lotus stem has many thorns and lives underwater.

The verse "In the pond, nothing is more beautiful than the lotus/Green leaves, white flowers, and yellow pistils..." shows that this flower always contains different things. The lotus is gentle and elegant, dispelling some of the heat of the summer sun. The green and pink color of the flower often radiates its pure beauty every morning when the dew drops are still around the leaves.

There are thousands of words to describe the beauty of lotus. In an essay, author Hue Huong describes: "The lotus flower is still in its bud, shy like a shy, timid girl in her prime."

The lotus flowers have bloomed, swaying gently in the wind. The petals are curved, thin, and dreamy, just like a ballerina bending in a passionate, seductive dance of heaven and earth.

The lotus is also the only flower that fully embodies the noble philosophical and humanistic meanings. This flower symbolizes the yin and yang of the five elements and the rising power of a strong will to live, and is an endless source of inspiration for poetry and art.

In an article, poet Tran Hoa Binh once described: "The lotus sleeps in the vase, you are awake in me. Go to sleep, strange flowers. I think of the fragrant green rice season of autumn in Hanoi, green green rice is carefully wrapped in lotus leaves, warmly embraced. The scent of lotus mixed with the aroma of new green rice makes people miss it forever when they are far away."

The simple and rustic lotus flower is also chosen by many people to worship or go to the temple at the beginning of the month or on the full moon day.

On the lagoon in the late afternoon, the fragile lotus petals in the wind with two interwoven colors of deep pink and pure white make people's hearts filled with emotions.

The lotus grows out of the mud but still retains its noble and elegant beauty. In a place far from the city, the lotus blooms peacefully, unencumbered by the hustle and bustle of life.

The lotus grows and lives in the mud but reaches up towards the sun without being polluted or soiled.

As scheduled, lotus blooming season comes again, every morning flower lovers often go to Tay Ho lotus pond to admire and buy. Here, small boats dock carrying hundreds of freshly picked lotus flowers.
