Dear Marilyn,

The lotus and waterlily I bought from you last year did wonderfully. Neither went dormant, however, and 'Tina' actually bloomed all winter despite the cold. The lotus got down to leaves about the size of a half-dollar or silver dollar, but is now making bigger leaves. Should I repot or just start fertilizing again?

Thanks,

Jeanette

Answer: Begin fertilizing the lotus when you have aerial leaves.

Marilyn,
I'm constantly amazed by the awesome selection of your lilies, especially the tropicals.  What's even better is that you can explain the differences between them all and recommend which would be best for my conditions.  I was especially nervous about being able to grow the Australian water lily (gigantea) so you'll be proud to see what your little lily turned into.
Thanks for your knowledge, encouragement, and terrific customer service.

Just wanted to let you know I loved the Water Lily Festival.  Looking forward to the Lotus Festival.  My lilies I got from you are doing great as well as the bulbs I purchased from the vendors you had there. 

Thanks for what you do.
Karen
