First lotus buds of the season 🌸
These started as dormant tubers just a few months ago and are now pushing aerial leaves and flower buds.
I just added the first fertilizer tabs and can’t wait to see the first blooms open.
Growing lotus in Southwest Virginia has quickly become one of my favorite projects this year.
