Researcher Coaxes New Sprouts From Centuries-Old Lotus Seeds

[Guest guest]

I thought that this article on these ancient lotus seeds was

interesting, since the lotus has such powerful spiritual symbolism.

Here's a quote from that article:

"They were raised from seeds of the fabled lotus plant, and

remarkably, they remained viable after spending nearly 500 years in a

dry lakebed in China, subject to wind and sand storms, occasional

flooding, and radiation."
