Well my 42'' deep planted lotus is up to 6 aerials, and a flower bud that is
now standing about 2.5-3 feet out of the water.

If it starts calling you SeeeeMORE, look out. I've found lotus must love
the HEAT, mine are blooming great guns and lots of aerials now. So cool! I
guess next year I'll have to sell or trade the one, as I have two pots of
the same, and get a bigger variety.

BV, you'll go down in history regarding planting a lotus wrong can be so
RIGHT! ;o) ~ jan
