Planting lotus is tough work – part 4 – The End

After those sprouted leaves all died without opening up, i decided to transfer the seeds to the soil.

You will noticed that one of the seed’s external has turned brown (bottom left).  The other seed’s shoot also start to dry up (bottom right).
Not long after, i saw fungi growing on them before my mum threw them away. I have 5 seeds left.
