I have been wanting Lotus tubers for - it seems - forever! If you will email me, I will see if I have anything you're looking for.

Trying to email you, but your emails keep coming back to me as undeliverable. Do you have another email address? Annette

Water lilies need to be divided. I have never know anyone who harvested seeds from them. Many plants that you normally plant in the ground are excellent pond plants. Many ornamental grasses grow beautifully in the pond, such as zebra grass. Iris, (not bearded iris) such as swamp iris or Louisianan iris grow like weeds, as do Elephant ears, Canna, horse tail (equisetum), and papyrus. Just pot them up, using heavy clay soil, if possible; Line your pot with screen or coffee filters if they have holes in them. Top the soil with small rocks or gravel so that your soil won't float away. Sink the pots in the pond and watch them grow! Good Luck! Janie
