If they never bloomed, their foliage alone would be enough to win the admiration of everyone. Their enormous leaves, of tender bluish green, held aloft on tall, flexible stalks, sway and wave in the slightest wind. But when this is crowned with a wealth of beautiful flowers, gigantic in size, exquisitely tinted, perfect in form, and with a perfume strong yet delicate, it is easily understood why they hold the foremost place among aquatics. Their culture is quite simple, requiring the same treatment as other hardy Water Lilies. See page 265. Some varieties are slow in growth after transplanting, and it may be the second year before they flower; but the second and third seasons generally repay for any extra care or patience expended. All Nelumbiums are suitable for tub culture.
