Bowl Lotus questions

[JBtheExplorer]

Anyone know anything about these? A relative gave me these last year. Would they work in my pond? Is it too late to start them? Safe for fish? would they grow quick enough to bloom before winter and are they perennial/annual in my climate? I really know absolutely nothing about them so anything you know, please feel free to share. I plan on doing some research but definitely wanted to hear all of your opinions and potential knowledge/experience first.

No idea myself but I'll give you a bump.

Guessing its unfamiliar territory. Might just give it a try and see what happens.

No clue, give them a try. Don't see why once soaked and started they would harm the pond.
