The Lotus Eaters.


After much trouble with getting my lotus rhizomes - finally a few leaves appeared! No sign of flowers yet... and I don't think that we shall see any this year. Already the Autumn is tangible in the winds despite the tropical humidity of some days. The nights are noticeably cooler. I only hope that the rhizomes will survive the winter well and will start anew in the Spring.
I will be the happiest person in the world when they will flower... just one - to start with! I started them too late in the year. It took too long for them to get to me. Keep your fingers crossed that in the Spring I will have new, huge plants!
