Pegasus Posted June 19, 2002 Report Share Posted June 19, 2002 I came across a plant on a great site the other day called "The Red Lotus" (Nymphaea zenkiri) It has wonderful large red leaves, and is apparently propagated from a bulb. Does anyone know if this is available in NZ? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted June 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2002 I now have a picture of the above. The picture is of a 3/4 shot of the tank, but was the best view of the plant in question. It was obtained by the kind permission of David of Califofnia USA whom I am hoping may join our group in the near future. Ammendment: David, aka aspiringAlmano has indeed joined us. Welcome David. Thanks Ira and Caryl for your assistance in posting this. I was having a few probs :oops: :oops: Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cees Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 It's not in the plant survey so I doubt very much that it is in NZ. Although, I've heard (rumors) that after the plant survey was published someone started importing from tropica making the plants survey incomplete.

Pegasus Posted June 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 Thanks Cees, I found the plant in question, but was still keen to know if there were any in NZ. I looked on the Plant survey before I posted the request. Not quite sure what you mean here though, making the plants survey incomplete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cees Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 Are you saying that the plant survey won't be continuing? My understanding ( http://www.fnzas.org.nz/plants.0.html ), but I could be wrong, was that the plant survey booklet was originally written to 'survey' what plants are available in New Zealand. It was first published in 1996 if I remember correctly and not changed/updated since. The "plant survey online" has just started!!! Here's an idea. If you have plant (in New Zealand) that's not in the 'survey online' than send me an email, photo with it would be great. If it's positively identified I will add it to the survey under a section 'new additions'. Then I will request to report 'other sightings' of that plant to get an idea about availablility etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Last time I see that plant I was sent some from RedWoods Aquatics but this is many years ago now, I have not been able to track any down again easy any way I have been busy. Will let you know if/when I get ahold of it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
