Cancelled my lotus order after company sent me an email question which included my credit card identification info including the whole card number! Had to inactivate my card and get a new one due to the security risk of sending this info in a non-encrypted email. Now I need to find another source of this lotus.

Update: Ordered "The President" lotus from another vendor.

RAH - Any update? Photos if appropriate?

What is your gut feel after one year. Good idea? I'm in the South so I'm more concerned that they'll get out of hand. My daughter likes to cook with lotus so I'd be looking for an appropriate cultivar.
