Any neighbors with some lotus that they would let you divide?

I have some neighbors with runaway lotus (which they wanted) and some with slow-spreading lotus. If you were able to procure some from a neighbor, you would at least have a decent idea of how it might perform in the climate of your pond.



P.S. I have followed Pond Boss for many years, and don't recall any universally loved plant supplier emerging from member recommendations. (I therefore suspect it is difficult to make a steady profit selling aquatic plants.) If you don't find one, maybe call some of the people that install ornamental ponds in Indianapolis and see if they have a good plant supplier? I had a buddy that installed little ponds and cascades for a few years, and he had a good local plant supplier that he used to finish off his installations.

Congrats on the new wetlands pond! I will try to send some water up your way.
