PLANTING GUIDE
Prior to planting, it's essential to scarify the American Lotus (Nelumbo Lutea) seeds to break their hard seed coat and promote germination. Utilize a metal file to gently remove part of the seed coat, exposing the pale yellow center.
To begin, soak the seeds in warm water for about 24 hours to promote germination. Submerge the seeds in water, changing it daily to prevent any potential diseases, and allow them to sprout. This process typically takes around 2-4 weeks.
Once sprouted, plant the lotus in small peat pots, ensuring they are just covered in water. Be mindful that the emerging stem is, in fact, a leaf and not the taproot. As the plants grow, increase the water depth accordingly. When transplanting outdoors, exercise caution as the American Lotus is sensitive to root disturbance. Handle with care to ensure successful establishment in its new location.
Nelumbo lutea, also known as the American Lotus, thrives in a variety of water conditions, ranging from muddy shallows to depths of up to six feet. While its roots are anchored in the mud, its striking leaves and beautiful flowers gracefully float on the water's surface.
For those seeking to control its spread or facilitate relocation, cultivating the American Lotus in spacious containers immersed in water at least two feet deep can be a practical approach. It's worth noting that, despite its charm and benefits, this plant has a tendency to spread rapidly under favorable growing conditions and has been listed as an invasive species in states like Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Awesome toys my boys love!
Color: Blue&Purple
These are such a great value and my little dogs ADORE them! So far they aren’t chewed up, and they are super cute! They definitely love playing with them and I appreciate there not being stuffing all over. They love the crinkly legs and squeaker in the head.

GREAT TOYS FOR BIRDING DOGS.
Color: Blue&Purple&Orange
I would purchase these again!! These have lasted for the past four years with four dogs. My dogs love carrying these around and tossing them into the air. I have Vizslas, they are not heavy chewers, but love carrying toys in their mouths.

Worthless Dog Toy
Color: Blue
Buyer beware! This item is worthless - if I could rate it -5*, I would. It was delivered this morning and was destroyed literally within 10 minutes. The squeaker was punctured and two of the crinkle legs were stripped by my Shichon.

Fun for a few minutes but beware!
Color: Blue&Purple&Orange, Color: Blue&Purple&Orange
I have 3 dogs so looking for multipacks of the same style toy is great so there is less squabbling between who gets what toy.
I have a border collie puppy, a 4 yr old Irish wolfhound cross and a 17 yr old border collie. These toys were loved by each one of my dogs.
The toys are floppy and easy to squeak in the octopus head. So much so that my elderly boy could happily play and make it squeak. He even collected the toys up and took them to his bed!
My puppy ran off bounding through the house squeaking the octopus' head with the tentacle-legs flying everywhere as she ran around, so the entertainment value is pretty high!
My Irish wolfhound loved the crinkling on the tentacles of the octopus and went straight for tearing into the orange toy pulling out the plastic, then pulling out the squeaker. The toy did ok with a game of tuggy (tug-o-war) with him and this toy would have been a great reward during a training session.
The fabric is not very tough so this is not a toy for aggressive chewers. Legs were easily chewed off and unfortunately were ingested by one of my dogs which caused them to vomit repeatedly throughout the night. Same with the squeaker, they are thin, soft plastic. So if your dog is a voracious chewer, give these a miss.
What I liked about these toys:
1. They were reasonably priced for 3 toys
2. These are not small toys! They are great for medium and large dogs.
3. Very fun for the dogs to play with.
4. No stuffing to clean up
What I didn't like:
1. Toys are not durable for tough tuggers.
2. The toys are not reinforced for chewing.
3. Squeaker not strong enough.
The toys just didn't last. There was maybe 15 minutes of play time at most before the chewing and destruction of the toys really got started.
I might buy these again if I can give my puppy better supervision for her chewing these and trying to stop her from ingesting the pieces she is chewing off put I probably won't buy them again. There's too much plastic that can be eaten with the crinkly plastic in the legs.
