SEEDLING CHARACTERISTICS: Seeds are listed by the pod parent. The pollen parent
is unknown. Just as with people and puppies, an offspring's characteristics are
determined by BOTH parents.
ONLY tuber propagation guarantees that new lotus plants will look like the parent.
So it is very unlikely any of the seed plants will come true to the pod parent. ...
You may be germinating the next GREAT lotus!
