Martian Lotus 06

The petals of the Martian lotus flower are a deep red, almost purple color. The tips of the petals are slightly lighter in color, giving the flower an ethereal quality. The stem of the flower is long and slender, curving gracefully up to support the bloom. The leaves of the plant are large and paddle-shaped, with a glossy sheen. The lotus flower is growing in a lake on Mars. The water is still and calm, reflecting the colors of the sky as the sun sets behind some mountains in the distance. The air is cool and dry, with a hint of sweetness from the flowers.
