"The breath-taking beauty of the lotus blossoms which are in full bloom on the north end of Echo Park Lake, had delighted hundreds of thousands of Angelenos and visitors. The delicate coloring of the flowers had defied the efforts of dozens of artists who have tried to reproduce it on canvas and thousands of photographers who have tried to catch its elusive loveliness on color slides. Miyako Kurata, 7, 124 South Lafayette Place, like most of the visitors to the spot where 100 plants rise four to five-inch stems above the waters of the lake and shoot out huge elephant-like leaves three-inches across, is content to admire the beautiful blossoms which will be in full bloom for the next 10 days to two weeks." -- caption on photograph.

该照片的配文如下：回声公园湖北端盛放的荷花美得令人叹为观止，令数十万洛杉矶市民与游客沉醉不已。这些荷花的细腻色泽，让数十位试图在画布上还原其风姿的艺术家、数千名试图用彩色幻灯片捕捉其难以捉摸的灵动美感的摄影师都未能如愿。现年7岁的宫古·仓田（Miyako Kurata）居住于拉斐特广场南街124号，与大多数到访这片荷区的游客一样，她乐于静静观赏这些即将在未来10天至两周内持续盛放的绝美荷花。这片区域共有100株荷花，茎干高出湖面4至5英寸，并长出宽达3英寸的巨形如象耳的叶片。
