Lotus leaves sensitivity to freeze?
 

Specifically, and first leaf, not yet fully unfurled, but above the
surface. We're expecting a freeze tonight in upstate NY, so I've carefully
laid my ten-foot pole across the tub so it pushes the stem and leaf below
the surface. I admit it; I'm a coward.
Hopefully Mrs. Slocum will appreciate it!

==================
They probably are. They're real heat lovers. If frost nips this leaf it
will surely shoot up another leaf soon.

I don't know about your lotus, sorry... but I grew up in Syracuse and
have relatives around Corning. Where are you in upstate NY?
