Oga lotus

It is a wallpaper photograph of the Oga lotus seen in the shrine Hiraike park in Hyogo Prefecture.

A shrine Hiraike park famous for a Oga lotus is located in central Hyogo and Kato (old Yashiro-cho, Kato-gun). Although the park is improved to surround Hiraike, the Oga lotus is in bloom in one corner with a rest station in the middle of the Hiraike park. It seems that it was named the Oga lotus from the place where Dr. Ichiro Oga succeeded the seed of the ancient lotus which was famous also as the oldest lotus in the world that awoke out of the sleep in 2000 as for the Oga lotus of the Hiraike [ here ] park, and was found from the ruins of Kemigawa in Chiba Prefecture also as the basis in the bloom. In the Hiraike [ here ] park, the flower of the lotus said about 150 kinds besides the Oga lotus can be in bloom, and it can see now from a promenade inside a garden in it. Around the end of June to the middle of July of the best time to see of the Oga lotus is the golden age. The Oga lotus is a flower of a quite large lotus, and if a flower blooms in the early morning about [ during about three days ] and the life of a flower becomes an afternoon, it has the characteristic of closing again. moreover, although it is a petal of a very deep color immediately after the first bloom, a color fades gradually as a day passes -- it will break up, without closing a petal, if four day will pass in three days. Therefore, early morning of photography is the best. In order to put in the Hiraike park without time restrictions, it is suitable for the point photography.
