John,
Thought I'd bump this thread.
I did my annual water garden cleaning yesterday. I do it every year as it is part of a filtration system for my Koi pond. Each year, the garde nis fresh and clean with replanted lotus and a few other water plants.
Each year I hope that the job will not be as bad as the first. Each year, I am disappointed, as the stench (not smell, stench) can be at time overpowering.
The lotus do not seem to mind the change, despite their affinity for the muck that seems to develop over the period of a year. I think you might be able to grow a dwarf variety inside, a normal sized lotus will be 6-7 feet tall
The flowers are worth the effort in my opinion.
