sad

Back in 2008, we visited the Karasuma peninsula and saw 13 hectares (about 32 acres) of lotus blossoms!

We were in awe and amazed by the beauty of this area.

(photo from the Kyoto Newspaper) This is what the area looks like recently...all the lotus roots have disappeared.

They aren't too sure what caused it to die off (global warming, disease, maybe other reasons) but how sad is this?!

    Oh no! I had hopes of visiting there after seeing your previous pics. I love lotus - they are so beautiful.

    that's a shame for the lotus (geez, 32 acres!). we're planning on a visit to a lotus farm next month as I had never seen anything like it here. I KNOW MotH won't agree to having a small pond because the toads around here like to habitate wherever they can.
