This lotus has four buds up, but I've been ill and unable to get out and take pictures. This was taken just after the bloom closed for the evening. This flower's been blooming for a couple days, so it will probably open completely tomorrow and fall apart by evening, scattering large white petals.

Edit:
I had to run outside just now to put out the trash, and I noticed the flower was already open again (it's just before 4am here).

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
