Water Lily & Lotus Blossom - 8/6/14

On a recent lunch date with a friend, she got me to shake things up a bit.  Instead of having Chinese food (which I have often, as you may have noticed) we ate at a Vietnamese restaurant.  No fortune cookies there to inspire me, but the restaurant had a lovely lotus blossom motif, which led me to today's puzzle from Sweden:

Water lily & lotus blossom

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

P.S.  My apologies to the puzzler who recently told me that this type of puzzle is too conspicuous to solve at work.
