Murasaki Shikibu (Black Beauty) Tropical Water Lily

The Murasaki Shikibu Water Lily, also known as Black Beauty, is a rare Taiwanese bowl water lily that delivers dazzling charm in a compact package. Perfect for container gardens, whiskey barrel liners, small ponds, and petite water features, this enchanting tropical variety produces vibrant purple blossoms with a graceful, exotic look. Flowers measure 1.5 to 3.5 inches across, growing larger as the plant matures, and appear in abundance throughout the summer. With its modest 3-foot spread, this tropical gem is ideal for gardeners who want the beauty of tropical water lilies without the need for a large pond.

Murasaki Shikibu Water Lily thrives when planted in an 8-inch fabric pond pot filled with heavy loam soil, set at a depth of 4–12 inches beneath the water’s surface. To achieve its best blooms, give it full sun—at least 6 hours daily. Fertilize with two Waterlily World Fertilizer Tablets on the 1st and 15th of each month during the growing season. Shade or indoor growth will prevent blooming, so keep this beauty outdoors where sunlight can reach it. Offered as a live pond plant during spring and summer, it’s a wonderful way to bring Far Eastern elegance into even the smallest water garden.

Superb Retelling of Classic Tales
Format: Paperback
The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling and Chrystal S. Chan, is an illustrated Manga Classic book retelling seven different stories in a complete illustrated format. Six poems are interspersed among the stories, providing a sing-song character feel while helping to clarify the culture being illustrated. The stories target younger readers who enjoy action and adventure. Since this is a Manga book and is read differently than others types of books, a brief but detailed explanation is provided as well. I found the artwork to be superb, from the human characters to the animals. The detail that accompanied the characters is well drawn and easy to understand. It is obvious the artist has years of art experience, being able to create this type of book with the detail you see. Stories such as The Jungle Book are based on much longer books, and these graphic novels must present the right words (and the right amount) to move the story along to let the reader experience the story to its fullest, and this book certainly did not disappoint. This book was a quick and thoroughly enjoyable read, and hard to put down. With each new story came a set of exciting new characters, adventures and background history of its people. You see a culture that may contrast sharply with the one you’ve grown up with, and it goes far it describing the various castes in this society. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Manga comics, especially for those who embrace adventure.

I love this series and have read them all
Format: Paperback
I was so thrilled when I saw a new Manga Classics was out! I love this series and have read them all. Jungle Book excited me as 1) I've read the original and 2) these are short stories, something the series has not done before. The art is just as magnificent as on previous volumes and the author notes on adapting the original at the back are as illuminating as ever. This series stay as close to the originals as possible only adding artistic license where necessary to adapting a printed word novel to an illustrated manga format. The Jungle Book succeeds and presents a well-told version of the original seven stories: 4 featuring Mowgli and three others. The Mowgli stories aren't exactly chronological but they flow nicely told together and of the three stand-alone stories Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is my favourite as it is in the original. Be warned though that this (and others in the series) are sourced from the original material, not anything like its Disney counterpart. I don't think the short story format works as well in manga as it does in text so this is not my favourite of all the books (Great Expectations and Scarlet Letter probably are) but this is well done, nevertheless, and will encourage readers to pick up Kipling's classic if they have not already.

Great work but missing an important character.
Format: Paperback
I bought this and another manga classic from Barnes&Noble and as I've read through the two, which are extremely good. I've noticed that in this one, it's missing one character Tabaqui the jackal , Shere Khan's lackey. It's just that I've read the the jungle book and in the beginning of Mowgli's Brothers Tabaqui informs the wolf family after praising them for their generous offer of scrap food that his master Shere Khan has entered their Territory and is on the hunt for man. But in this interpretation of the manga classic there's no Tabaqui the jackal. Weird isn't it. But aside from it . It's an amazing work of art. Hopefully in the future the people who worked very hard on this will make it more accurate to the story itself as well any and all future manga classic interpretations.

Well done classic
Format: Paperback
A very well-done Manga book. The artist captures the feel of these books and retells the classic Rudyard Kipling story in an eye-catching way. Recommended for young readers and as a classroom or library resource.

It’s rare to find a Manga that’s as close as possible to the original storyline, although it’s they’re could be more to come in the future later on other than that it’s a good manga to have in your personal library
