Hi Bonnie, The lost tag lotus came in yesterday's mail (Wed). It is much bigger than I had imagined and I am thrilled. Just can not wait to see what it will be like in bloom. I have decided to put it outside the pond, as I have one "in" already. Dealing with you takes the worry and mystery out of what we might get "unwanted" along with our pond purchases. Pat H.

Samples of tuber sizes

Lotus tubers can range in size from about 6 inches to 24 inches, depending on variety

Lotus tubers can vary in size and shape. In fact NO two are alike. Some will be long and thin, some short and fat. The above photos are representative of what your tuber may look like. The size depends on many factors: the variety (dwarf or medium or large growing). One thing is for certain a viable tuber must contain a node and internode. Many do not know how to divide lotus and if they do not include a node and internode the tuber is doomed right from the start. When we cut the tubers we make sure that there is at least 2 growing tips. There could however be more than 2.

Dear Bonnie, (received 2/02/07)
Received the "Hindu" lotus tuber today. Even though it was cold today (-8), I was there when the postman dropped it off at my door. I was shocked when I opened the box. That tuber is HUGE!!! I am following your instructions to keep it healthy until it is warm enough to transport outdoors.

Thanks

Hi Bonnie, my friend Debbie ordered a lotus from you the other day. I was wondering if you still had any dwarf lotus available this season? I was planning to get one next season, but now I think I'd like to go ahead and get one now if you have any left.

Btw, my Mrs. Perry Slocum I received on February 16th (despite ideal temps in the sunroom) is coming out of dormancy!!! I'm so excited! I got a lotus tuber on ebay last season, and after seeing yours........and your planting directions, I'm convinced that tuber never stood a chance! I don't think it even had growing tips, and the planting directions couldn't have been more wrong. They said to cover the whole thing with 3 inches of soil!!!! Anyway, this experience, even in the early stages, with your lotus tuber is already showing good results! Thank you so much for your wonderful guidance and support, and your quick response each and every time.

Jenny

I would like to share the following email I received on 2/25/05

Bonnie --
Received lotus today. Looks very beautiful and received in excellent condition. A few years ago, I purchased one from ****Pons (when we lived in Biloxi, MS)-- it was not nearly as nice as the one you have sent to me. Their tuber was scrawny, almost microscopic, and took 3 years for me to nurse it to health and vigor. I am so very impressed by what you have sent. I can't wait for this lotus to get established. Thanks. I'm glad I found your website. I have been addicted to water gardens and fish ponds for well over 40 years.
