Looking the Second Life metaverse through the eyes of reality

Not water lilies, please

The SL waterways are full of water lilies, as if the Nymphaeaceae were the only nice looking water plants in the world. Yeah, yeah, I know: they are very similar, the Nymphaeaceae (the water lily family) and the Nelumbonaceae (the lotus kind). Don’t look at me that way, I didn’t give them those names.

So for a long time I’ve been searching  for good quality lotus plants to no avail. Recently, though, I found some lotus leaves by Aariss Innovators, that I’ve been using in the Asian plot as a temporary solution. Actually, they look quite nice after going through a modding session, but at 1 prim per leaf, they do take a moderate toll on prim quota. I’m keeping most of them anyway.

I knew that with today’s sculpts, a few more leaves per prim could be possible, so there’s where Aki Shichiroji, the mastermind from Organica Specialty Trees, comes to the rescue. Today, she released the Lotus 1 pack, a pretty nice group of lotus leaves and flowers that everyone tired of the flat and common water lilies should get (asap, move, now). Of course, you can see them in these pictures, along with some other vegetable elements.

To get these lotuses, just visit Organica main store inworld [slurl] or the SL Marketplace [url]. For more information on Organica releases, including the gorgeous Mugo Pine and fan-style Palm Trees, also released today, head to Organica’s blog [url].
