Full bloom of my very first home grown lotus flower

hi , really glad to share with you all the first full bloom of home grown lotus flower plant from seeds...

First lotus flower bud in 5 months from seed

it is indeed thrilling to see a seed growing into a full plant and then flowers.

i could feel the thrill now... finally after almost 5 months of wait i could see the first lotus bud growing beautifully.
