Actually on the Lotus the flat-topped, yellow cup-like structure in the middle is called the carpellary receptacle. Atop the receptacle are many bumps that are stigmas, the tips of the female pistils that each houses an ovule. Around the base of the receptacle, wedged next to the petal bases are the male organs, the stamens. Numerous stamens with tiny stalk-like filaments are topped by the anthers, which split open to release the pollen. Wind and insects relocate pollen grains to the receptive stigmas on the top of the carpellary receptacle.
And I named it Water Lily because I only intended to show the Lily :). I am more concerned on whether or not you like the photo.

This section of the Gubeikou Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty and has not been restored ever. It made for some careful hiking.

Have this old snapping turtle nesting in our pond for about 45 years. He came up on the lawn to check out our birdbath! He's about 18 inches in diameter, and been with us through droughts and flooding. Sometimes we don't see him for months at a time, but he's family!
