When I opened the package of seeds, I thought to myself, “This is a joke. Right?” They are the tiniest of seeds. I had been watching YouTube videos on how to start lotus/water lily seeds. Those seeds were the size of an olive or acorn. That was what I expected. I have followed the starting instructions to the letter. Now I wait 1-6 weeks to see if these tiny seeds will germinate. If they do, and I actually grow some water lilies, I will change my rating. For now, I am a skeptic.

Never seen water lily seeds that are flakes of dust. I always receive almond looking seeds.
