Garden Pictures Pictures of Nelumbo lutea (4 photos)
Admiring the Beauty
One warm afternoon I was photographing this beautful lotus bloom and thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. When I went inside to 'develop' the pic, I saw the hummer. She's a Ruby-throated hummingbird.

FANTASTIC photo. I have hummingbirds visiting my yard frequently in the summer and I've never been able to capture one in a photo like this. I'm awarding you a blue ribbon for this one :)

O wow, I havn't gotten a blue ribbon in years and years !! Thanks Mike. Actually I was just in the right place at the right time. I really lucked out. It helps to have 40+ hummers buzzing your yard every day of the sumemr too. They love my yard. I have a few other flower pics with hummers in that I'll post in a while.

Wonderful, I must agree with David: amazing/breathtaking!
I must ask what's a blue ribbon? just out of curiosity.

Mark, I'm sure you've gotten many many blue ribbons for your lovely Begonias ! It's first place. You get a blue ribbon with first place, red ribbon with second, yellow with third, pink I think is fourth and so on. I used to be in 4-H. I showed my horse.

What a wonderful photo Di, I am speechless. Do these grow in your pond? What a tiny birdy that hummer is!
What else?
See who else is growing Nelumbo lutea (American Lotus).
See who else has plants in genus Nelumbo.
This photo is of "Lotus "Rosa Plina"" in Diohio's garden
