Confusion over Lotus and Water lily 荷花与莲花-冯京当马凉

There are too many things and facts to learn in life. In the past, I will NOT take seriously to differentiate a lotus from a water lily. It is Maximaphily that made me to make  "study" on these flowers as I need to create a best concordant maximum card . However, no matter how careful I am, the selection of a postcard does slip at times.  I had picked a water lily postcard to realise an MCwith a stamp of a lotus - I was misled by the description written on the rear of the postcard which indicated  the flower is a lotus. Now by Further reading on the subject,  I know the easiest way to differentiate a water lily from a lotus - Leaves of water lily float on water surface, leaves of the lotus grow beyond the water surface.  However, be careful when the pond is grown with both water lily and lotus, the differentiation by the leaves of the plants will NOT work, so the differentiation has to come from the flowers themselves of which I will NOT elaborate here. Anyway, maximaphily makes me learn, and it is the mistake that I made on the creation of a card that keeps me remembering on the subject.  Ha, the above MC is definitely a LOTUS, there is no doubt about it !

It is the discrepancy in Chinese Translation of the FIP rules that defies the use of Artwork postcard for MCs

FIP rules state that "Drawings" cannot be used for maximum cards, and I came to the understanding that the key word "drawings" has been interpreted as artworks 绘画 in Chinese hence any postcard printed with artwork of a subject  is deemed to violate  the FIP rules. Well, Chinese in general refrain from taking any card of this nature, I will welcome them to part these cards to me if they do NOT want them. The "drawings" as mentioned in the FIP rule refers to the actual drawings drawn by pens and brushes, it is nothing related to printed drawings. What a misled interpretation that is planted deeply in the brains of the collectors. I like artwork cards and will like to present here with another famous water painting artwork Maximum Card of a Lotus Flower.

Some says Artwork postcards are NOT suitable for realisation of Maximum Cards

Some says Artwork postcards are NOT suitable for realisation of Maximum Cards, this statement is generally wide spread in the maximum card collecting community in China. Collectors will stay away from the printed postcards featuring images of any artwork on subjects. These collectors will prefer photographic images on the postcards. I do NOT see what is wrong with these artwork images on postcards, they are beautiful and representing works of an artist, what's wrong of making them into maximum cards ?  Above is a postcard featuring an artwork of a LOTUS by a famous Chinese Artist Mr. Tian Shi Guang 田世光.

Malaysian Artist - Loke Hung Tho 陆杏桃 's LOTUS art piece as MC

Very few local artists paint good LOTUS paintings and rarely these paintings are made into postcards. I saw this set of beautiful LOTUs art pieces postcard of the work by a Malaysian artist Loke Hung Tho 陆杏桃 and realise them into maximum cards.

It is simply a beautiful flower - the LOTUS 荷花

It is simply a beautiful flower - the Lotus ! Surprisingly, there is a professionally photographed local Malaysian postcard on the beautiful flower. I just can't resist to realise an MC for this.
