| I found a really nice woman from Bankok Thailand who specializes in making custom flower gardens for models. After emailing her back and forth we have come to an arrangement on a couple of types of flowers that she made for me and sent late last week. The first plants she did were some water lettuce and a common lotus. These are handmade out of clay, and each piece is individually made. I am really impressed with the detail and beauty of the lotus, especially the flowers. Here is the lotus, the pot is just so it will stand up, it is attached to a clear base and each leaf and flower can be removed so I can attach it directly to the water on the diorama if I want.
