| apparently the third time is the charm. i've tried to grow lotus a few other times before this, but it seems i've finally figured it out!
two of the 9 lotus tubs
baby doll (splotchy from the rain)
rosy cloud almost open
rosy cloud fully open
one of mine didn't send up any leaves at all. i felt around in it and the tuber still feels firm. any idea whats up with it? i think it's perrys giant sunburst, but i'd have to look at the tag to be sure. |

| Very nice Cody! Is the one that's not putting up any leaves too far down? Was it a new tuber? Did it have eyes on it when you planted it? Its not a good sign that its not growing by now. How do you handle all those in the winter? |

| they're all new this spring so i have no idea what i'm going to do this winter. the tubs are buried so maybe just fill them with straw? i didn't bury any of the tubers, just held them in place with a rock. i suppose i'll just dig it up tomorrow and look |
