Received the tuber in days of ordering. Will add more review once the tuber grows and blooms. Appreciate the very fast turnover.

Hi Larry,
Here is the latest update of my purchase. The lotus are finally ready to bloom but have questions. The buds did not open on their
own so I tried to help them open. They are kind of half open and i am reluctant to force more. Can you please give me some suggestions how I can help further to bloom. Really looking forward to enjoy their full beauty
Trying to paste a picture but unable to
Thanks in advance
Ramya

Often the thousand petal varieties do need some help opening up. You can first try tapping on the top of the bud. Often we have to use our thumbs , pressing down, while our fingers are supporting the the base of the petals around the stem. I will try to look for a video.
