Kathy Brown, Fruit of the Lotus (SINGLE SHOT 2024)

This striking seed pod with its sculptural appearance made for a stunning picture during the misty rain, standing out against the grey green of the Lotus plant leaves giving it a slight look of surrealism. The seed pod is actually the fruit of the lotus plant which is a water lily that produces large beautiful flowers and has large spherical leaves. Photo taken in the Coffs Harbour Regional Botanical Gardens, Coffs Harbour, NSW.
