You've been spared my occasional pond ruminations because I went out to
Decorah, Iowa, for the Seed Saver's Exchange convention for a week. When I
left, the new Mrs. Perry D. Slocum lotus had a bud showing a little color,
so I was pretty sure it would be done and gone on my return.
Not....quite.... so: The flower was faded and about to fall apart, but
still there. Picture taken by a friend he

What a lovely surprise to come home to!. Looks absolutely stunning with the
lilies in the background!

I have Momo Botan with 2 buds open and many more coming up. I finally sold
the last 2 pots of this lotus I had for sale ($20/ea). 1 had 5 buds on it!
Will help pay for those filter drum lids I ordered yesterday. ~ jan
