Looks good  O0

Mine is battling string algae in its tub.  Guess I didn't use enough gravel in that one.

Yes, just planted it this spring, as soon as I thought warm enough to put out.  I am wondering how in the world I will over winter it now.  May have to pull it into family room, hope its not too smelly.

I am not to good at overwintering lotus out side of the pond but pretty sure it would not make it inside.  I had mine in the basement the first year and it stays probably upper 40's there and it was to warm and they rotted and turned to mush.  What I do with mine in the hose pots is dig a hole in the ground and put the pots down in the ground then I cover with several bags of leaves. just pile it up right on top of it and the green azolla etc never really die in the winter and the lotus does fine.
