This is the first bloom this year from my lotus.

Congratz!!
I've been very lucky & had 2 so far in the last little while.
Too bad they don't last longer.
Cheers!!

I noticed today that I have a second one coming up.
I just wish they would last longer than 2 days.

I love those blossoms. Too bad I can't really do it in my setups (need the light for the plants underneath. Might have to try that in a future tank.

Just for my own info to file away, what type of lotus is it and where I can I get one? Do they do well in very warm (like 80's) water?

I think it is just a regular tiger lotus like you see in most LFS.
I've had it for 3 or 4 years.
It loves the MH lighting, but, it does block alot of the light going to the lower plants in the tank.

Thanks for the info. I'd love to try it for my fish which like subdued lighting.
