Is this a lotus bulb?

I retired a little bog garden in my backyard and found this about 3" long bulb. I remember the previous owner telling me there is a lotus among the cattail, but I've never seen in the past 1 1/2 years. If this is indeed the lotus, what can I do to save it now? I have a small pond (one of those plastic shells), but it is pretty much covered with water hyacinth. Thanks

| Looks like a lotus tuber to me, if it isn't damaged you can put it in a pot without drainage and add an inch of water over the top of the soil and it should do ok. They can be rather touchy if they've been damaged. They apparently don't like to be disturbed. |
