Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) – Whole Flowers & Cut

The Blue Lotus (also known as the Egyptian Blue Lotus) is a traditional aquatic plant that has been symbolically revered for thousands of years in ritual and cultural spaces around the Nile and in parts of Africa. In ancient Egyptian imagery, the flower appears as a sign of beauty, renewal and ceremony – a noble botanic that is valued today above all for its fine, floral scent and its special aesthetics.
