Lilies and Lotuses

We went to Pittsburgh Botanic Garden last week. We walked nearly 2.5 miles on a trail, when I saw a sign that said Lotus pond. I was too curious since I have not seen Lotuses in this part of the world. I did see lot of tiny yellow flowers and huge leaves, similar to lotus leaves which I have seen in India. So I used my plant identification app and found some to be lotus and some to be lilies. I think the app used the leaves to identify the plants but I do not know what the yellow flowers are!!

  3. It looks and sounds beautiful. I have never been to Pittsburgh before. Some gardens I liked were Monet’s house and Garden in France (my aunt used to live near there) and Kew Gardens in London, England.
