Here was my first attempt at growing Lotus from seed in 2009. The first year went well, although I never got a flower. Hoping for a flower this 2nd year. I learned 3 things, nick the seed to help germination, if you live in the tropics, get a tropical lotus, they don't go dormant in the winter and don't cut the old leaves below the water line, it can drown the plant. I added floating duckweed to the surface, I think it looks nice and keeps the algae from forming.
