Red tiger lotus

[Lady_Alia]

The leaves on these are pretty fragile so sometimes they do get broken in transit but not usually completely bare to root stock. I lay them flat in a plastic bag so they don't get jostled around too much. Most still have bulbs attached also. They are $5.

The ones I've gotten the leaves just turn to mush in the bag. I wonder if transporting them in water would work better? I don't believe any of mine have bulbs either. What do you charge for shipping? I may have to get some from ya

I took some pics Janis. As you can see, they are quite small, pads are about 2x2 or 2x3 on average, they seem to ship better when small like this.

These are the one's I've been looking for.... http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f24/my-corner-aquatic-world-174l-46g-95223-2.html. The true P. Zenkeri I've seen tend to have red leaves, barely if any mottling. I don't think they are a different variety. They are just striking and was surprised to find this picture on AA.

I've seen some like that under the name nymphaea rubra.

That's the problem, there are so many different one's and a lot of the time the one's sold are mislabeled.
