The lotus bloom season doesn't last long, but they are beautiful right now in the Japanese Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden.

The daylilies are impressive right now, too -- a riot of colors and some pretty amazing stamens when you look closely.

Keep an eye out for honey bees around the Garden. The hive is in the Kemper Center. It has transparent sides so that you can watch the activity.
