Her journeys are challenging but often bring unexpected rewards.</p><p>Ten years ago, she landed on Planet Sapphire, where 95% of the surface is covered in snow. She came to explore its local fruits, which have a stunning crystalline look—crystal grapes, mangos, cherries, and even coffee and chocolate made from crystalized beans. Everything tastes extraordinary.</p></td><td><p>Soon after arriving, many of Lady H.'s friends fell ill with lasting fevers, and their medicine failed to help. Determined to find a cure, she sought help from locals, who led her to Lake Crystal—a frozen lake with blooming lotuses.

## Why Lotus Blooms in Winter?

All because of **Optimization**—and everything you'll see here is about **optimization**!

* 🌱 [Prompt Optimization](/applied-data-science-in-my-garden/lotus-queen/prompt-optimization.md)

## By the way, an outlier! 😉

Have you already noticed that Lotus Queen is a typical outlier?

Normal lotus blooms in summer and opens petals every morning. One the opposite, Lotus Queen opens her buds at every winter night.

Figure 1.1 shows the difference.

Meanwhile, do you know Python allows you to plot whatever icon in a visualization, such as this lotus icon?
