LOTUS FOUND IN 200-YEAR-OLD SOIL IN BLOOM IN KYOTO
Next, a unique type of lotus flower is in bloom at a Buddhist temple in western Japan. It comes from a seed dating back 200 years. Byodoin Temple in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, dates back to the 11th century. It's listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. The temple puts pots of lotus flowers on display every year. The variety is called the Byodoin Temple Lotus. It was grown from a seed found during excavation work at the temple 25 years ago.
(Kamii Monsho / Byodoin Temple) “The lotus has a very transparent, clean feel to it. The transparent whiteness helps clear the mind.”
The flowers will remain in bloom until mid-July.
