Tomorrow I am going to a lake in Florida to get some wild lotus but I
don`t know what special cares to have...
Basically I am going to shove my hand through the muddy waters (below
a withered lotus flower) and to the bottom (will I touch roots?? or
soil??). Then I am going to grab whatever is there and pull it up
carefully. I expect to bring up several intertwinned potato-looking
tubers which I will have to break somewhere in order to seperate and
make transportable.
I really wanted to be successfull in bringing back possible lotus
tubers but what cares do I need? If I do what will I kill it? I
would really appreciate some help, some guidance.
