I have been too afraid of trying to grow lotus from seeds, but now that I finally found some good instructions, these seeds seem to suddenly be sold out everywhere. Does anyone here have some HARDY BLUE lotus seeds or HARDY BLUE waterlily seeds to give away? I live in Brooklyn, NY and would love some. I have lots of plants with which to barter, but I don't trust myself to mail anything properly. Almost all my plants are fully grown and too large to send anyway. However, I would love to exchange my many perennials from my organic garden for aquatic bulbs or plants. I am also looking for oxygenating plants. I live right near the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and we can combine a visit there with a plant exchange.
