I have been growing a lotus on my lanai since March. It got several buds on it before I left for my annual summer trip to Nebraska. I missed the flowers. A new bud grew. I was so excited to finally see a lotus bloom.
On Tuesday morning before school, I noticed that it was finally opening.
But when I got home on Tuesday afternoon, it had closed. I think. I think maybe it opened in the sun, and closed again once it was shaded?
Yesterday morning I checked on it before I left for school. It was open! Gloriously open! I took a picture, but had to use a flash because it was still dark out.
And then yesterday after school, it was closed again. It looked like a stupid dumb tulip. Dang.
All this anticipation, and I have a flower that can only be viewed during the day, while I’m at school. I’m not sure that’s even worth it. Stupid lotus.
Stupid lotus. Maybe it could come to school for show and tell? 😀
