I think so. John, don't you think raccoon inspired face paint would be
appropriate for this action?
And I think he should rise out of the pond like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now.

I do have a weird nose. I don't like the smell of the Leopardess lily, too
strong and smells like laundry soap. However, I love the smell of datura's
and my dh thinks I'm crazy.

A matter of taste, err, smell!

Strong sweet scent. Now, it may stink to some -

But, Wendy, MPDS has the strongest aroma of any of the
lotuses. That is my interpreation it anyway. Maybe Perry's
Super Star is close. Which is not surprising since they are
related. Your nose is funny! lololol

I dunno...my neighbors love the Bradford Pears in the neighborhood.
Every
year when they bloom I at some point, check the baby's diaper, and my
wife
laughs. I hate the stench made by those 'flowers'.

Something was 'scenting' back there this morning. If it is the lotus, I'll
have to put it in the category with the Pear trees. Ick.

Wow! BV, wonderful Lotus! Mine is blooming to beat the band and I got a
picture the other day. Unfortunately it's not digital so it will be awhile
before I can put it up.

Interesting regarding your surface leaves as most of the first pads on mine
looked similar. The aerials are fine and I can't wait till they cover the
other ugly looking ones.

As far as the raccoon. Obviously they liked your place so well they left
you presents! ) Sure glad the one that came to my house didn't mark the
area, but then it did a lot of work (damage) but got no dinner. If it ever
showed itself again all it got was a shower from the motion sprinkler.

Raccoon scat tends not to have points, often having a more blunt end
appearance (sometimes compared to a Tootsie Roll™).

I planted three lotus. I think one is doing well. One died, and the third is
a miniature variety. I think that is the one yellowing, and I think it is
because the pot is so small. I am going to start potash this week, to see
how that helps. Maybe Miracle Grow in weeks.

I spent about an hour one night while on patrol trying to find that person
smoking marijuana. I finally figured out it was the magnolia trees in bloom.
Sure did smell like a stones concert.
