Lee, the stems are so thick that I can easily cut them off
at the 2 or 3 foot length.
I usually don't cut them off .... this year I thought I would
to see if the plants flower more - for a longer period of time.

Of course I don't get in the middle of them .... the pond is
too broad for that. It is close to 12 feet in diameter...

Thank you for the compliments.

Nedra...I have a lotus that is going like crazy and another with sad looking
half deda leaves. In your experience...should I cut the dead leaves off?
