Re: Local lotus

I think it's beautiful, too, Jim, but for some reason it is listed as
an invasive around here.  I can't understand it, because the water
plants that are invasive in the areas I know are water chestnuts and
pickerel weed.  I don't remember seeing the Nelumbo  lutea anywhere
nearer than Nova Scotia.

The lotus in the local library's retention pond is blooming. My

the blooms to get a really good picture. For this one, I'd walked out 
as far as I could on the tops of cypress knees that more-or-less define 
the margin between swamp and upland. It must have been a spectacle to 
watch.
