Vibrant color! Rose, does this form typically have pendant flowers? All the ones I've seen are held upright.

That's a very nice bloom.. Is this one a multi-petal variety? Mine has large round petals and not so many of them..

This pic was taken on an overcast day with my zoom lense.
No, wind & rain will tip the bowl!

It's considered a double.

Love it/want it! Do you know the name of the variety? Do you grow in a pond or tub?

Sorry I don't know the name, we got it several years ago at the end of the season, on sale for 1/2 price! It's in a tub, submerged in the pond.

It's nice; but unfortunately I think the best thing about lotus is the crunch they add to Hot and Sour soup!
