    Wah! beyond recognition. It has lost all its natural color and trade mark.

    Let me guess...look like red lotus. (not red tiger lotus)

    looks like the Nymphea rubra.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    If I'm not wrong, the red tiger lotus can grow up to quite big?

    BTW, how much do they cost?

    Lets say if I cut one plant from my friend and stick it in the gravel, will it grow?

    If you are refering to a plantlet(not a leaf)... yes.

    According to what I've read so far, red tiger lotus (Nymphaea zenkeri 'Red') can only be propagated by seeds and runners.

    I bought a lotus plant from Sam Yick at $18. I pay for its' big-sized type. The different is that it has wavy/nimper leaf texture and varying red. Now, it propogated and I have 2 plantlets.

    Your lotus does not do well. Try putting 1 to 2 Horti Tabs UNDER the roots.

    * Smack budak * No sex how to have seeds?
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
