    Seed head ID please

    Hi, can anyone tell me what this enormous flower seed head is from please? I can see the seeds rattling around in it and I want to see if I can grow them... but not if it’s from a giant tree or a man eating triffid or something!
    Size isn’t clear from photos, it’s about the size of half a tennis ball...

    Did you grow it or was it in a bought bunch? Poppy if you grew it ---------it won't eat you!

    Bought bunch = Lotus, maybe.

      Thanks VC, It’s from a bought bunch, but never had petals... if it’s lotus, will it grow here?

            Hmmm, that grower is in Florida I think... slightly different climate to Edinburgh!

              Yes, but the basic steps to germination of the seeds has got to be the same, you just won't have a sub-tropical pond to put them in once they've started to grow.

              You'll have to put them in an aquarium and coddle them like tropical fish
