Excalibur may have this one though I have my doubts it is for sale (you would have to call Richard to inquire).  I have a picture on my phone I believe from it flowing last year.  If so, I will post.  Their is growing on a "water container".  Wait till I post the picture to see of this is what you are looking for...

zands - is this the lotus ?

That could be any of 100 common pink dwarf lotus but is not bali red.Some of the thai and chinese parlour dwarfs would be great to have.Most red are deep pink and I have just a few seeds of a deep pink thai dwarf that has giant spectacular  flowers and can be grown in a bucket.I did have seeds from edible tuber types, the best types for edible seed production as well as the flowering dwarfs.I have been meaning to fix my pond so I can grow them again.I sadly had to give my much loved peacock bass away when the pond had some problems as well.

This is my deep pink thai dwarf with a huge flower.There is some red/pink color blindness going with the bali one.Steven you could be interested in this.

Hi Mike,
Lotus and water lilies are one of my fav. plants for ponds and of course adding some koi fishes while you at it
Definitely want to grow some in the near future...when I build a pond
