The Lotus Flowers are in bloom at The Aquatic Gardens in Kenilworth, DC. If you are interested, you should try to go before July 11. I went there yesterday at 7:30 am and the gate was opened even though the website has 8 – 4 p.m. The website also mentioned 30% bloom, but it look like 60 % or higher has bloomed. Wear boots, you may have to walk through water, take a long lens. Good luck. Have fun
