I saw white lotus followers after a long time

Sadly, white lotus is very rare in our country now. There was a time when these flowers were numerous throughout the area. Me and my friend were walking along the road. My friend showed me the flowers. They were far away from us. I zoomed in and took the pictures. Maybe one day the white lotus will disappear completely. We will never see these flowers again.

Two white lotuses blooming nearby. Not fully bloomed yet

This is the white lotus bud. Its petals have not yet opened. Still good to see

White lotus leaves lie in water and are circular in shape. Its leaves are also slightly different
