#florespondense: This is almost a graphic trope for summer but a lotus is a lotus is a lotus.

An alstromeria from the Pisa Botanic Gardens. If you are even in Pisa, I highly recommend visiting the botanic gardens there, they're one of the oldest in the world and are absolutely fascinating (if you like plants and flowers). This is from a trip to Italy and France in 2019.

I love these flowers because A) they grow everywhere around hear especially where folks don’t want them. And B) because when I was a kid we used to pick them wrap the stems around itself and shoot the heads off them. I always thought they looked pretty flying through the air
