    Are North America lily pads similar to chinese lotus leaves? Can North American "lilly pads" be used as wraps in Chinese recipes?

    How warm does it get there in the summer. I've had problems in michigan due to the short summer months. I've had to grow the lotus plant indoors from a seed. Here's those results: http://davewirth.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-to-grow-lotus-plant-indoors-from.html

    Lotus is very powerful symbol. It reminds me of purity, innocence and wisdom.

    It means a lot to me - it's part of the symbol of an organization that has changed my life and that I love dearly.

    I loved this page, especially the recipe! I'm pinning it so others can also enjoy it. You can see my pins at Pinterest.com/pmbc - come on over and play.

    It is perhaps the most beautiful flower. Are you aware about the Brahm Kamal. It is found in higher reaches of Himalayas and is a sight to behold.

    I recently bought Egyptian Lotus Oil and it is like Heaven in a bottle! It has a delightful fragrance and you can feel the energy of it working instantly.

    Thank you for this beautiful site! And for including the LOTUS ROOT recipe! In southern Japan, I ate KARASHI-RENKON, which appeared to be lotus root filled with mustard and fried. Delicious!

    I live in China, and we eat lotus root regularly. It's great in a pork soup.
    I'm also taking Chinese watercolor lessons, and we've studied this flower. Beautiful.

    Beautiful lens - in the UK we call the Lotus Flower the Water Lily and I have one in a pot that I top up with rainwater, in a south facing position - important when our Summers can be so unpredictable.

    I love the way you have laid out this lens

    Great lens on lotus . It has spiritual connotations in oriental philosophy. And yes, it tastes great, the stem of the lotus is edible and the curry mighty tasty.

    A lovely lens explaining the symbolism of the Lotus. I love the principle of "...each person has the inherent ability to reach his or her full potential, and therefore, "bloom" in the midst of the muck" - I wish more people realised that and climbed out of the muck and got on with "blooming"!

    What a beautiful and informative lens! You help make the LOTUS blossom for viewers. I also appreciate that you mentioned my book, The Lotus: Know It & Grow It, which is available from our website or Amazon.com. My co-author and I are also fascinated with the lotus ... we consider ourselves true Lotus-aholics. Thank you!

    I love the Lotus Flower as my name would indicate and my website, www.lotuspetalyoga. I enjoyed the tatoos you have in photos here. Ill be sure to vote for you in the contest.

    Beautiful lens about the lotus flower. Great symbols for spirituality; they sure do evoke peace and calm. ...Those tattoos are huge! Beautiful, but huge. :) Think I'll stay with paintings on canvas, or the real thing. :)

    That's quite a lot of lotus resources. Those lotus reflection pictures are pretty. I think it was cool to throw the recipe in, too -- I bet that's something a lot of people didn't know.

    Another fantastic lens! The lotus flower is so beautiful - I spent some time photographing some last summer. Lots of great selections for lotus lovers too.

    LotusMala, you master the Squidoo lensbuilding with perfection ! I love this lens and you almost convinced me to authorize my son to have a pond in the garden so that we can have at least one lotus flower...
