Chromatella, yellow, is a really good shade tolerant lily. Gloriosa, bright
pink, comes in 2nd. Both are hardy.

Night blooming tropicals require a lot of light, though I had good luck
with Sir Galahad, a white night bloomer. I haven't been able to find
someone who sells one though.

Goldfish food, I use Shogold, when the goldfish are in the house for the
winter, as it sinks. I don't feed them outside, but I only have 7 in a 1000
lily pond, and they seem to be doing fine. ~ jan

Is there any lotus/lily etc that will bloom in dappled sunlight (I know it's
too late for this year, but I can plan for next year) I saw something on a
home and garden show about a night blooming one that might bloom during the
day in partial shade...
Also, since I think my goldfish deserve only the best, (even though they
are not koi) are there brands of goldfish food that are more premium than
others? Just like I give my cats Wellness, which is one of the best cat
foods, I don't want to be giving my fish the equivalent of cheap grocery
store, nutrient-lacking food. Thanks!
