Nymphaea Caerulea (RED Lotus) was held in very high esteem by the ancient Egyptians. Blue Lotus was worshipped as a visionary plant and was a symbol for the origins of life. The Egyptians believed that the world was originally covered by water and darkness. Lotus sprang up from the water and opened its petals to reveal a young god, a Divine Child. Light streamed from the Divine Child to banish universal darkness. This child god was the Creator, the Sun God, the source of all life. When the Pharao known as King Tut was entombed, his body was covered in Nymphaea Caerulea.
Nymphaea Caerulea - Lotus is also highly respected and by Indians and in Buddhism.
When Lotus(Nymphaea Caerulea) was smoked or drank after being soaked in water or wine, it acted as an intoxicant.
Lotus is an extremely rare plant. Our Lotus is of the highest quality.
