Lotus time!

In a little over a month I will start dividing lotuses and begin selling tubers near the end of March and through May. I will be posting pics from now until then if you are interested in seeing the different varieties. You can contact me here by messaging me, or email me at
matherfish@aol.com.The
first one is Bai Quinye.

Mine still have at least a few inches of ice over them. However, it's supposed to get up to the 40s over the next few days.

Bob, mine are still also in the cold but our temps hit 50 yesterday so our snow has melted. Sorry that last picture was not a good one, but you still get an idea as to what the bloom looks like.
Today's lotus is Bua Loung

Little Golden Phoenix is a dwarf lotus that is extremely rare. It has a creamy bloom and is a good bloomer!

I will start dividing the lotuses this next week. Probably will only do three or four since it is still early in the season. The first one will be Bai Qianye. It is a nice dwarf lotus.

I might also point out that it is a good bloomer. I will be selling the tubers once I have divided the plant.

Memphis is about a 4.5 hours drive from here. Is she staying in Memphis very long?

They are pretty sophisticated, unlike me! I am sure they have it all planned

Momo Botan seems to be among the easiest lotus to keep. from my experience. It would be a nice one to start with.

I have to start dividing the lotuses this week! They are starting to "spike," which means they are starting to come up. With the cooler nights this week-end going down to freezing weather I had to cover up the tubs to keep the frost and freeze off of them.
