Lotus have not proven to like me in the past, but last year I purchased
one
in the fall and it basically decline into winter. March I upturned it and
put what I thought were tubers in one round container and runners in
another.

To my surprise the container with the runner put up a bud, funny thing is,
I do not have any aerial leaves, all pads are on the water surface. Is
that
normal?

The container with the tuber(s) also has a tiny bud, but few pads on the
surface. ~ jan

Mine have had leaves on the surface for a few months now. This weekend, the
first one lifted out of the water. No buds yet.
