How beautiful! Me, I can't even get healthy leaves from mine, let alone
flowers. Your plants are so dense - how do you get in there to dead-head the flowers, or don't you? Just beautiful. Lee "Nedra" wrote in message thlink.net...

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 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? BV. |

Great pictures! I really enjoyed viewing your lotus. My first bud is 2 1/2
feet tall and should open by the 4th. Bill "Nedra" wrote in message thlink.net... This is the lotus pond that I thought was dead ;-) How things can change in just a month!!

Hi BV,
The only place I would cut a growing lotus would be way above the water level. It will drown if you cut it anywhere near the water level... look at the construction of a lotus leaf - you will see it made up of small channels. These are magic channels that assist the lotus in breathing, etc. :) Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "BenignVanilla" m wrote in message ...

Thank you for the compliments, Bill.
I remember staying up all night to watch my first lotus open! I had no idea they continued opening in the nighttime. What kind of lotus do you have?

send you some pictures when they bloom. Bill "Nedra" wrote in message rthlink.net... Thank you for the compliments, Bill. I remember staying up all night to watch my first lotus open!
