Bunches of lotus flowers, wrapped in their own leaf, on the back of my motorbike

The lotus leaves are huge and are used to wrap around the flowers to give them protection (and preserve their appearance as petals always fall off the minute you unband them). The flower girls tie the flowers you've bought onto the back of your motorbike or bicycle using thin strips of bamboo and then twisted tight.
