Your lotus flower is exquisite. I have never tested lotus tea but next time I go to the Asian area of Atlanta I’ll try to find it. It sounds delicious. When I passed through London last – during the wedding of Prince William and Kate, I bought a special tea made for the occasion by Twinings called Royal Wedding. It is a blend of white tea with bergamot and rose petals – I like it a lot but I don’t think they make it anymore.

The lotus shares its colouring with the beautiful peonies I picked today near Daylesford in Victoria. Then I visited Stonefields, Paul Bangay's house and garden near by. If you get the chance, take a look at his book about this garden journey. (Warning:it does cost $100 but it is superb)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900787945928067672noreply@blogger.com
