Waiting quietly for the flowers to bloom

As someone who has free time but no financial freedom, I enjoy traveling and choose the 5A scenic spot, Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area, which offers excellent value for money (20 yuan ticket), as a place I often visit. Upon hearing the news that Wanweisha from Qingxiu Mountain had bloomed a two-color lotus flower again, I arrived at Qingxiu Mountain's aquatic garden before 8am on August 27th. Although the sun had risen and the strong sunlight shone on the water lily, Wanweisha only slightly opened a slit. As the intensity of sunlight increases and time passes, the red and yellow two-color flowers of Wanweisha bloom completely after about an hour. Beauty is fleeting. When I went again the next day, the sunshine was still there. After waiting for two hours, the double colored lotus remained a bud that had never been opened again. Even the visit of the black swan was useless, unlike the first double colored flower in April, which could still bloom halfway at noon. This year, Qingxiu Mountain has bloomed a total of 3 double colored lotus flowers. The last two pictures are the first and second two-color lotus flowers.
