NIGHT BLOOMING ANNUALS 
These lilies are fast becoming more and more popular, and there is a good reason for this. There is nothing 
nicer than to have some lilies blooming in the evening when the other lilies have gone to sleep. Perennial and 
annual day blooming lilies close their flowers in the afternoon which leaves your pool without flowers when 
all the family is at home and friends come visiting. However, night bloomers open early in the evening and 
stay open until 10 or 11 o'clock the next morning. 
All of the night bloomers are large plants with flowers 8 to 12 inches in diameter and with very large pads.

SACRED LOTUS OR NELUMBIUMS 
(Perennials) 
Nelumbiums or Sacred Lotus are one of the most interesting plants in the vegetable kingdom. They are natives 
of India, and from there they were brought to Egypt. The Egyptians held them sacred and first cultivated them 
around their places of worship some four thousand years ago. 
The Lotus bear their beautiful, large flowers on tall stems from three to eight feet in height. The stately, 
silvery bluish green leaves of this plant are often two feet in diameter. The grand foliage, aside from the plant's 
magnificent flowers, well repays one for growing Lotus. 
Lotus should not be planted in soil containers which are smaller than 18"x18"x12" deep. They can be 
successfully grown in pools as small as a half barrel if the bottom is filled with about ten inches of soil.
