Namaste All,

TYPES OF LOTUSES

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus
Lotus identifies various plant taxa:

• Nelumbo, a genus of aquatic plants with showy flowers
  • Nelumbo nucifera, the Sacred or Indian lotus
  • Nelumbo lutea, the American or Yellow lotus
• Certain species of Nymphaea (water lilies or Egyptian lotuses):
  • Nymphaea caerulea, also known as blue lotus
  • Nymphaea lotus, white lotus or sacred lotus
  • Nymphaea nouchali, also known as star lotus
• Lotus (genus) (including bird's-foot trefoils and deervetches), a terrestrial genus with small flowers
• Saussurea (snow lotus), a herbaceous species from the Himalayan vicinity
• Ziziphus lotus, a shrub species with edible fruit
• Date-plum or Caucasian persimmon, a tree with edible fruit

But, like a rose, does anyone really know a lotus without touching it, or smelling it, or tasting it, up close and intimately? 

Technologies are cutting through time ans space to allow for connection in new ways. 

What are your thoughts, feelings, knowings around the use of technologies like blogs and audio recordings as tools of self-exploration?

I wonder, will we be able to eat rose petals in virtual reality?

Be well and be blessed,
