T here is something fascinating about a Lotus. 
Symbolic of purity under temptation stands the 
Lotus, so the followers of Buddha have said. 
In the Lotus we see beauty of form and harmony 
of color, great concave, shielddike leaves often 2 
feet in diameter, large buds borne on long stems 
4 to 8 feet tall, enormous flowers with delightful 
fragrance.
