 Twin lotus flower buds grow on one stalk at Chating Park in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian province, June 19, 2011. People gathered to take photos of the rare scene and some even came every day to track the growth of the twin flowers, which an old Chinese love story said were reincarnations of two lovers who jumped into a lotus pond together because their union was opposed by their families. Twin lotus flowers on one stalk signify "'Til death do us part" and represent happiness and goodness in the Chinese culture. [Photo/CFP] |
