Cut lotus flowers laid in the little boat on top of lotus leaves.

Cut lotus flowers laid in the little boat on top of lotus leaves.

The flowers are either bunched up and wrapped in a lotus leaf ready for selling or the petals and stamens are stripped off and the stigma (I guess - trying to remember my A level biology!) sent for production of lotus scented tea. see the later photos of the flowers being stripped.
