Deep mud and a jewel of lotus pond filled with sweetest pink color lotus flowers.
To get such lotus flower photos, you need to get dirty and wet. Be ready to walk thru knee deep mud to get close to these pink lotus for close up photos of the beautiful blossoms.
The fragrance of pink lotus blossoms is different from the large white lotus. If you know honey and honey bee culture: The white lotus smells like honey. The pink lotus like honey in a natural wax honey-comb. Sweet as honey plus the natural fragrance of bee wax.

One mother-plant dwarf lotus with several runners. Unique to this Cambodian dwarf lotus is the one mother plant brining up a long st em from the bottom of the pond. From each long stem originating from the mother plant - a small group of lotus leaves and several lotus flowers result in a small floating array. Once such a group of floating lotus leaves/flowers is completed, the dwarf lotus creates a runner some 50-100 cm long and then creates another floating array of leaves and lotus blossoms.
If you know the strawberry plant-runners, the dwarf lotus look very much the same. Hence most of these lotus leaves have NO direct connection to the mother plant or to the soil at the bottom of the pond, but only thru the runner with the previous lotus flower group floating at the water surface. An interesting anatomy / physiology of a lotus plant.
On the image you clearly see several long and stronger runners from group to group with small arrays of lotus leaves and lotus blossoms in each such lotus array.
Each such mini-arrangement has several leaves around the center and several blossoms. Typically a few blossoms are open at a time. Many tiny small lotus buds ready to blossom.
The following picture shows another dwarf lotus in natural environment in Cambodia.
