Ok, I got the lotus out of the pond. Carefully removed the gravel, and soil on top of the tuber. It doesn't have any roots or growth, so I carefully removed the tuber from the container and rinsed it off. It is still firm like it was when I got it. It doesn't appear to be damaged or rotted. Is there still a chance for it? Here is a pic. Where is the growth point that needs to be exposed? If you guys think there is a chance for this, I'll repot and put it in my little whiskey barrel pond rather than my big koi pond. I'll be able to keep a better eye on it to check for growth, etc. If it does start to grow, then we'll talk about moving it to the big pond, etc. I sure hope there is a chance for this tuber afterall.
