Water lilies and lotus only make up half of the beauty of a water garden. 
To get that so desired naturalistic, tropical effect, shallow water and bog 
plants are essential. In the case of the formal pool, plant them in the corners 
and center. For the informal pool, plant them anywhere along the bank and 
water edge (of course, the background is preferable).
