I got four lotus tubers, and watched three either rot or be unearthed and
chewed on by local vermin. I have one left, and I'm hoping that it will
survive the depradations to its leaves long enough to get established and
bloom
this year. Has anyone else had the degree of frustration that I am
having, or
did I just do everything wrong? And why do the tubers cost so darn much?

My neighbor gave me a couple of tubors this year to get my pond started. I
am starting to rethink having them. Mine are growing like gang busters. The
leaves are nearly 2 feet across. I was away this weekend, and I returned I
found one leafe sitting about 4 inches out of the water. Me thinks next
spring, I will have tubors to share. Stay tuned.
