  • The Lotus Pond, Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, New South Wales, Australia ..Asia, from Iran to Japan, and south to northeren Australia. Long grown for culinary use as the leaf stalks, rootstock and seeds are edible, the dried sead heads are also used in floral art. ..The Lotus, Nelumbo nucifera, is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world and is revered in the East where it is a symbol of (among other things)  fertility, nobility, holiness and purity. Due to its display of all stages of growth simultaneously: bud, flower and seedpod - the lotus is also a symbol of the past, present and future or the individuals progress from the lowest to the highest state of consciousness. Lotus flowers are an oddity in the plant world as they can generate their own heat. they are able to maintain a temperature of 30°C though the surrounding temperature may be much lower.

  • Belas Knap is a neolithic long barrow, situated on Cleeve Hill, near Cheltenham and Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, England. It is in the care of English Heritage. "Belas" is possibly derived from the Latin word bellus, 'beautiful', which could describe the hill or its view. "Knap" is derived from the Old English for the top, crest, or summit of a hill...What appears to be the main entrance to the barrow, with intricate dry-stone walling and large limestone jambs and lintels is, in fact, a false one. The actual burial chambers are down the long East and West sides of the barrow and at its Southern foot. There are four burial chambers, two on opposite sides near the middle, one at the South-East angle and one at the South end. These are formed of upright stone slabs, linked by dry-stone walling and originally had corbelled roofs...This northern end measures about 26 metres wide and the barrow then tapers towards the south where it measures 17 metres in width and less than a metre in height. The whole of this trapezoid mound is around 70 metres in length.

  • Belas Knap is a neolithic long barrow, situated on Cleeve Hill, near Cheltenham and Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, England. It is in the care of English Heritage. "Belas" is possibly derived from the Latin word bellus, 'beautiful', which could describe the hill or its view. "Knap" is derived from the Old English for the top, crest, or summit of a hill...What appears to be the main entrance to the barrow, with intricate dry-stone walling and large limestone jambs and lintels is, in fact, a false one. The actual burial chambers are down the long East and West sides of the barrow and at its Southern foot. There are four burial chambers, two on opposite sides near the middle, one at the South-East angle and one at the South end. These are formed of upright stone slabs, linked by dry-stone walling and originally had corbelled roofs...This northern end measures about 26 metres wide and the barrow then tapers towards the south where it measures 17 metres in width and less than a metre in height. The whole of this trapezoid mound is around 70 metres in length.
