Here's an update on one of my water gardening experiements.  I'm attempting to grow out a batch of Water Lotus from seed.  The seeds I ordered on-line from Thailand.
Here's one of the seeds which I nicked to prepare it.
 
I have 4 colours, Red, Pink, Light Pink and white varieties.  After nicking the seeds I then plunked them into small plastic containers with water.
 
 
I put them on a window sill and performed daily water changes.
About a week later they started to sprout.
 
and sprout..
 
and sprout..
 
and we have our first leaf!
 
If a mod happens upon this could you move this to the Freshwater forum?  Please and thank you! :-D
