I would like to know where I can purchase the Lotus Flower?

The site given by the best answer earlier did not exist. I have a Hindu girlfriend I just started dating and I thought it would be a really nice idea to give her a Lotus flower.





Not just because it is Hindu, but because it signifies beginning. But I cannot find a single place that sells the flower. Please help.

You would probably have a better chance getting a lotus plant and growing your own. They grow in ponds like water lillies. You can grown them in a large bucket or tub provided you have sufficient sunlight. They die back in the winter and only flower in the summer so it might be a while before you get anything.





You can get the plants online or usually at Lowes or Homedepot in the spring.
Reply:I have never seen or heard of the lotus being harvested as other flowers.


That doesn't mean they aren't.


I have however seen silk ones.

Reply:they are unbelievably difficult to get hold of


i have been trying for ages


and the only ones i can get are for fish ponds, since i dont have one, they are no good to me, since they grow in muddy waters they are difficult to keep fresh


there are some amazing pieces of inexpensive jewellery around with them on, why not look there instead, a flower will die quite quickly, a simple necklace she can keep forever
Reply:I have no idea where to purchase one but I would like to buy a living lotus plant for my wife's backyard goldfish pond. Watter Lillie's are common and easily acquired if she would except one.
Reply:I have seen some lotus seeds for sale on ebay, you might want to try there. They have almost everything on ebay.
