Lotus tank leaking!

[mrsclem]

They are several years old and have produced many flowers. We divided them a couple of years ago but were not able to remove the entire root. Guess that's why they survived. We had several large clumps of roots

Well that's so encouraging that they are so resilient. Glad they came through it for you.

The pond has frozen several times but they still survive!

Good to know they're tough - so far mine have made it through 4 winters.

Got seeds this year for yellow and white lotus. Seeds sprouted but but didn't grow after transplant. Guess I'm stuck with pink

Bummer

Finally after 2 months the project is complete! Pavers and stone in place, still need to add more paver sand as it settles and a little more stone here and there. Tank is full and we have 2 blooms!

That turned out nice -- to have lotus as the primo focal point for your seating area! Great look.

Thanks! It had gotten overgrown and the wood framing was rotted. It's not perfect but it looks a thousand percent better and the lotus survived.

I think it is great, thrilled the lotus made it.
