Lotuses bloom in July and August, and there are many places to go and view them. I headed off to my favorite park in Machida, Yakushiike Park, to take some photos. The lotus pond is located at the lower end of the park. Unfortunately there weren't many of the huge pink blooms, but somehow it made the ones I did find all the more exquisite.
