my Zen Water Garden and Koi Pond

[kien]

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
