It has been another scorcher today here in the YARRA VALLEY......I was surprised to see visitors still turning up to the BLUE LOTUS WATERGARDEN today in such extreme heat conditions.....but they still kept coming through the gate........
Rod was happy as he managed to sell his large stone fish bowl/fountain that he had brought at the end of last season today.......in fact one of the regular artists brought it......she comes up every few months with a different group of painting students.
This group came from HURSTBRIDGE today........Geoff had to pick 300 Lotus pods this afternoon to fill an order to send to Sydney tomorrow morning .......he sends them fresh and green......the ones below have been picked for awhile....and the dried ones are from last season.....
If you are thinking of coming up to the Blue Lotus Watergarden then now is the time to come.......the Lotus and Waterlily are all out in bloom as well as many other water plants......make sure you bring a camera,sunscreen,a hat and come and stay in the cool down by the Little Yarra River which is the boundary of the property........the Watergarden Season closes to the Public at the end of MARCH.
