Re: Local lotus


Lovely! I germinated 3 N. lutea In July and have them growing in a  
tub on the edge of our farm pond. I hope they make it thru the winter  
(they should, as they are native way north of here). Kept a couple  
seeds in reserve, just in case.   Oh, and thanks for the pepper  
seeds, JIm.
