    Only Tropical Lilies come in Blue! No hardy ones in that color. Pink, white, red, yellow, salmon/orange all come as hardy ones. I just uncovered my Ponds today! I have white and red ones for sure. Gonna be a while before they start to wake up. When they do I will let you know when I divide them. If you would be up for that.

    Oh yes that would be wonderful!I would love that, I will probably forget it by then, my mind is out there sometime I have my son and grandsons here right now they been here for about 3 months now and the grandsons are on the lazy side, I'm working on that though, It's been really crazy, I just can't go for Lazy,He is 13 and the other one is 12 today. I guess because I'm always doing something, I been crazy since I lost my job a few months back, I am so use to working. I've painted everything in the house and done some drawing,and now my house is full of seedlings. So I am NUT - SO . I'm sorry I have went on so, I'm just upset today I shouldn't take it out on you.

    Let me know when they come on.
    Thank you Margie :stew2:

    HEY! I don't mind! We need to VENT now and then. I am a very good listener. OH Hey1 I uncovered my ponds today. Now the sun can get in pant plants can start to wake up. I will keep you in mind when I pull the plants out to clean the bottom of the ponds. Give that Grandson some chores to do! You will both be better for it. Heck!! I raised 5 kids of my own. So I GET IT! You can vent on me any time.

    I can't stand "laziness". Kicking back and relaxing sometime... sure. But lazy! :scheming:
    My dad always told us "Get up and do SOMETHING! Even it doesn't come out right!"
    Guess that's why I've got to keep my hands busy.
    Good luck with the water plants... it can just addicting as growing any other type of plant!

    Hiya Margie,
    I just received some nelumbo lotus seed from India a few days ago. They are very easy to grow from seed if you follow the directions. Mine is a white. If you'd like me to send you a couple seeds, I'd be glad to send you for the postage.
    Let me know, I only mail stuff out once in a blue moon, and am planning on sending Cheryl some asclepias seed next week, so visitng post office. :)
    BTW, they are super easy to germinate and grow, if you follow these directions:
