Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 127008, member: 3087"] Be careful "letting your lotus loose", Steve. If you have ever seen them take over a pond (like cattails do) you would understand. I think it would be really neat to have on the edge of my farm pond, but only if I could control them by having an area of shallow shelf, and then very deep where they could not survive. Otherwise they will continue to multiply and push their way around. I noticed them in a lake last weekend, and they took up a HUGE area, probably an acre or more, of the edge of that lake. Not sure how they would do in a bog, though. Addy would be the one to answer that. They are a delicate plant, but once established, I guess they can be very invasive. [/QUOTE]
