The front of Blue Lotus Water Garden looks similar to other nurseries I have seen - until you get inside and discover a whopping 14 acres of water gardens, lakes, ponds, walking trails and plants.
We took the path to the right, and checked out the main attraction, the Giant Amazon Lily - the world's largest water lily. They grow to around 4ft in diameter and have enormous flowers that only last 48 hours.
I wonder how big the Amazon frogs are...

The Yarra River Trail follows the Little Yarra River alongside the park. It's like a tropical oasis, with giant banana palms,native trees and ferns and sweetly perfumed flowers.
Picnic facilities and coin operated BBQs on site.
Pack a baguette and a big chunk of brie and imagine yourself in Monet's Garden for lunch.
The nursery sells a variety of lotus plants, lilies and other flowering plants, for you to create your own masterpiece at home.
