June 12th, 2009Any location is ok or somwhere not in The UK. But prefectly london or UK tho. I indeed need to take some great red lotus flowers for competition. Thank a lot! ^-^
Sorry, I mean the red water lilies or so called Lotuses. Thanks
I wish you’d said in your earlier question that you were talking about flowers … =D
Nymphaea lotus water lilies are really summer-blooming flowers, but you may just be in time to catch the last flowers of the season at Kew. Head for the Water Lily House.
http://www.kew.org/places/kew/waterlilyhouse.html
There are also about 40 different water lily varieties in the outdoor Aquatic Garden, but I don’t know whether the red lotus is one of them. Worth a look? http://www.kew.org/places/kew/aquaticgarden.html
If not, it may be worth contacting a specialist waterlily grower, such as the Dorset Water Lily Company http://www.dorsetwaterlily.co.uk/ or Bennets https://shop.waterlily.co.uk/redwaterlilies.php
The only other suggestion I have may solve the problem of being at the end of the flowering season is to try one of London’s specialist flower markets. I’d suggest visiting either Columbia Road flower market (Sunday mornings) or New Covent Garden wholesale market (opens at 3am)
