The Lotus Booklet
The Lotus: Know It and Grow It
by Kelly Billing and Paula Biles
"What a beautiful booklet … all the photographs, the amount of information, and the clarity of writing. … It's definitely the most compact and informative booklet on lotus there is."
Every year lotuses (Nelumbo) become more and more popular. To address the rising interest in these amazing aquatic plants, the IWGS produced a 48-page booklet covering almost everything about lotus: cultivation, pondscape and other uses, cultural traditions, lore, a guide for growers, and resources for additional information. The full-color booklet is filled with over 100 photographs and was designed to be attractive even to those unfamiliar with lotus. It was also designed with space on the back cover for a grower, water garden center, or botanical garden to insert their own label or stamp.
