LeawoodGardener - You have the same problem that I am having. Same general area, same fertilizer, same type of pot. Though mine are 2 different Lotus cultivars. One has been blooming like crazy, the other none so far. My entrance to my Butterfly and Hummingbird garden doesn't look quite as pristine as your beautiful garden, but you can see I am doing something similar.

The larger one on the left is the one that has been blooming a lot. The flowers are a pale yellow. I believe it is called "Tulip" I have no blooms or buds on the one to the right. It is supposed to be a red flower. (Red Scarf.) I am sure it has something to do with the fertilizer. Though I am fertilizing both lotus using the same quantity and pond pellets in each pots. Maybe they just need time to mature and bloom?
