I got a Bud!
No not beer... I bought a "Chawan Basu Dwarf Lotus" from ebay on May 10th and
it went into the pond as a bare root with one furled 2" dia. leaf. I have read over and over on this group that you won't get a blossom until the second year. The lotus started putting out floater leaves and then aerials. I have it planted in a 30gal pot, full sun, off to the side of the pond in 1/2 peagravel and 1/2 heavy clay. It has 10 aerials about 6"-12" acros and only stands about 18" tall. I GOT A BUD!!! I found it hiding under one of the aerials! Will wonders never cease. I'll try to add a page link and photos as the lotus grows. Rhino See my pond www.htcomp.net/rhino_4_good/index.htm "Without the second ammendment, the others are just suggestions." |

Whew! Pretty demanding of me. Sorry for being so
abrupt. Congratulations on the Bud! ;-) Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Nedra" wrote in message rthlink.net...
