    Feline, regarding the yellow cup like structure in the center of the lotus flower, that's it's sex organs (both male & female)! The seeds inside are actually edible( texture is similar to boiled peanuts).

    Wow! Thanks for the beautiful pictures and explanations. I've heard Vietnam is beautiful and these prove it. :) A lot of people from New Zealand go on vacation there and all come back saying how fantastic it is.

    maltipoos to the best of our knowledge. Mamma dog was found as a stray but we believe her to have been an escapee from a puppy mill. She was a mess and had severe issues about people

    Love - Vietnamese espresso! OMG, I love that stuff. I probably love the other stuff, too, but the espresso always calls my name.
