The lotus that was savaged by a racoon in the spring just sent up its
first aerial leaf. I guess there was a little growing point left that
didn't rot. I don't think I'll get a blossom this season in Chicago,
because it started out so late, but I am wondering if I can lift and
store such a little lotus for the winter or does everyone just leave it
in the pond. It probably won't freeze if I leave it in, but I am
wondering whether it can be safely lifted and stored in a cool place
instead, so I can drain the pond it's in and not worry about it.
Thanks
