That is a Beautiful lotus... and that is the name -
Roseum Plenum or Double Rose Lotus. It is an
old old Lotus.... If you have a catalog from any of the
vendors (Lily Ponds, etc.) they will probably have a
picture.

I don't believe I've ever seen a lotus with no aerials...
But, you have buds and probably by now a blossom ...

Not yet, the bud is growing bigger every day.

so, can be a success story. Congrats!
What kind is it? Nedra

Well..... the tag says: Double Rose Lotus (Roseum Plenum)

Me thinks I didn't get one with a name? ( ~ jan
