Lotus Buds
« on: July 04, 2015, 07:59:55 PM »
Last year I received a couple of "Frankly Scarlet" lotus tubers from matherfish.  I was able to over-winter the tuber outside and it got an earlier start this year.  I noticed the first bud a few days ago and now there are two buds.  The photo is of the second bud.  The first one is about twice that height already!  I am hoping that I'll get more than one flush of blooms this year.

Lucky  o(:-) I can never get a lotus to bloom.  I gave up the good fight years ago.  This new pond will event have enough shade and I'll give it another shot.

The lotus was in bloom yesterday and the second bud is getting taller.  I have yet to spot any more buds, though.

I am surprised that you have had trouble in Arizona with all the sun/warmth there.
