Six Feet. That's how far I walked after taking yesterday's photograph of the conservatory reflected in a pool. Then I saw this wonderful thing - it's the seed pod for a lotus plant, which lives in the water. One of the gardeners at NY Botanical Garden explained that I may have seen these dried in garden stores, and also that I may have seen them for sale in stores, cast in bronze, both of which seem familiar. What an amszing structure. So much of interest in a small area at the garden.
I'd been told that the dried version of these were wasps nests! I'm glad you've corrected that info for me!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting piece of nature. I can't understand why someone would want a bronze version of it when you can get THIS. But cool just the same.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew who "Anonymous" is all the time. Is it the same person? Different folks every time? I always want to know. :) -- Amy
