Lotus Flowers

Has anyone ever grown Lotus flowers from seed? Any tips?

We're extending/deepening our pond soon, and I was looking for unusual water lilies on ebay when I found different varieties of Lotus flowers. I couldn't resist sending for the seeds as they are supposed to be easy to grow according to the web. It'll be a while before they get here from China, but I'm looking forward to it.

Tried to grow ones gathered in Barbadoes...failed! Beautiful though - worth a try (if you succeed let me know!)
