History of Blue Lotus
Blue lotus, or Nymphaea caerulea, was highly valued in ancient Egypt, appearing in art, jewelry, and temple carvings. Its striking blue flowers symbolized the sun, creation, and rebirth, and it was often included in religious ceremonies along the Nile. The plant’s presence in tombs and artifacts highlights its cultural and spiritual significance throughout Egyptian history.
Over the last 2 thousand years this flower has been cultivated, bred and ecologically diversified to include several known cultivars and varieties including the Purple Thai, Egyptian Blue, and other subvarieties.
