Thank you all for your kind words and acorns. Yes, the lotus flower form is my favourite; I am genuinely attracted to these flowers.
After I posted my pics, I found out that, according to the Cricket Hill blog post, High Noon is classified as lotus. I will edit my post in "Chrysanthemum and Rose Types". Here is High Noon one more time, classified as lotus.
I am still confused with the classification of the peony flower types. For example, Hoki may bloom either as lotus or chrysanthemum, but I prefer when it blooms as lotus.
