Congratulations Danny, it looks so nice.

 I am not an expert but I believe it is Russian Komarovii, I may be wrong.

I have also many pots of N.Nucifera, grown from seeds last year June, July and also this year some Komarovii, all have lots of aerials but till now no buds.

I read your previous posts but unfortunately most of them the pics are no more visible.
So as per your experience, you got blooms (from seeds not tubers) sometimes after 6-8 months and sometimes after 2-3 years? Did I understand right?

Just will try to guess when I can see the bud.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you folks.

Tugo--I tried many lotus seeds, most of them didn't make after the 6-8 floating leaves.  They are doing great in the beginning and then died.  I only have 3 lotus grow from seeds (locally), they are all similar (pink color).  All the tubers and seeds from the mainland never bloom for me. I grow named lotus for more than 2+ years, they still didn't bloom yet.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Danny

Danny, I am growing lotus since last summer, all from seeds.
 I didn't have problem with the seedlings and they all survived winter (Zone 9). I always get the aerial leaves also and my last goal is to be able to see the flowers.
Sorry I do not have any suggestions, because I did not experienced it. I only read from net that, as you said, some gets the flowers soon but others quite late. I believe you have more heat and longer season than me.
 All I can do is to stand by them every day and make psychological pressure:)) If it works, I will inform you.
