Hi Chubbypoptart Welcome to Gardenstew from southern Ontario! My first 2 children are 21 months apart ... a good spacing I think
Welcome Shelby... and that post of your Lotus is phenomenal! Lots of great info there. Congrats on your soon to be new additions... Lotus flowers and baby!
thanks guys for the welcome and cherylad thankyou your too kind when i was starting out there was lots of conflicting info or vague directions so i decided to be a help for future lotus growers! now if i can get mine to bloom we shall call it a success
Welcome and nice post. Didn't know that the lotus seeds were viable for so long. Can't wait to see photos of the flowers. How many years does it usually take to get to a mature plant?
well most sites say they will bloom the season after being grown from seed so about a year. but i saw a few "diy-ers" that with luck they bloomed the same season! so we'll see
Welcome to GardenStew Shelby - this time from West Lothian in Scotland. Many congratulations on the imminent birth of your daughter. You must show us some photographs of her and her big sister.
Here is my daughter Jayden. I will have a pic of baby Zoey in about 30 days ( photo / image / picture from Chubbypoptart's Garden ) Jayden ( photo / image / picture from Chubbypoptart's Garden )
Awww Jayden is a real cutie!! She has your eyes Shelby and is going to be a real beauty. Keeping my fingers crossed all goes well for you when the birth of her sister takes place.
