IF YOU HAVE

TRYPOPHOBIA

Today's post

will make you uncomfortable!

Sacred lotus flowers

have risen from the mud,

and now thriving in our hot sunshine.

As gorgeous flower buds

ripen into hardened seed pods,

the pattern of its seeds appears.

Trypophobia

(16% of us are afflicted)

is the "fear of clustered holes."

(The above photo would not

be an appealing image.)

The dried seeds are featured

in many Chinese dishes,

And in Colombia, seeds are

commonly sold in street markets,

eaten raw by locals.
