      Anyone else like red waterlilies?

      Here are pics from blooms on three plants of my red un-named ISG plants that are all divisions from the same plant. The blooms re not all of the same days opening. What do you think?

      How many seeds are you expecting? You know the seeds of hybrids do not produce plants exactly like their parents? Same reason that parents will not have their children look exactly the same, nor exactly like a parent. They may have a lot of the same traits, but not the same. If here are several seeds, plant some this year and plant some next year, but you may have plenty of time to get blooms this year. When does your weather get too cool for healthy growth?

      Thanks for your insights matherfish they had 5 so I ordered all 5.. here's a annual temp chart for Bakersfield. I would really love if they produced the same variety offspring. If theres time then I shall proceed to planting them. I saw youtube video you have to break the nutshell of the lotus seed to speed up the process of germination and they put it in a glass of water to get a few leaves before they put it out.
