Photographs taken on Friday show double lotus blossoms blooming in Tinglin Garden, Kunshan City, east China's Jiangsu Province, bringing joy on a hot summer day. 

Reportedly, the double lotus can only grow in the wild as humans cannot duplicate its DNA. In Tinglin Garden, some lotuses even have three blossoms growing from the same stem.
