The Great Lotus Race

[Benign Vanilla]

I went and checked on the lotus before the big storm hit last night. To
recap, I have 4 tubors planted about about two feet down, and one tubor
planted four feet down. One of the four planted two feet down has broken the
surface of the water. The tubor planted four feet down has done the same,
and one non-scientific measurement shows that the tubor planted four feet
down, is in the lead for size and length.

Are all tubers the same variety of lotus?

Yes. Last year, my neighbor gave me two tubors. I tossed them into a 30
gallon rubbermaid full of mud and water in preparation for planting. One
thing led to another, and I ended up tossing the whole thing into the pond.
This year, I split the resultant tubors and planted those.

Okay ... too early for me to admit defeat ... But, what is the
tubor in - the one that's planted 4 feet down? Gotta be a
Good reason for this unseemly turn of events.

C'mon, two feet down ... C'mon, dang it!!

The tubor 4 feet down is planted in about 3-4 inches of the muck I dug out
of the rubbermaid container from last year. It's a combo of local mud and
mulm. That tubor is in a round pot that is 18-10 inches in diameter. The
tubor two feet down is planted in the same good but in a 3 foot long narrow
window box.
