Nymphea

I like Lotus Flower, because this exquisite plant is associated with purity, beauty and light. The Lotus flower is always so clean and pure yet emerging from a muddy unclear water. Because of this you find the lotus flower in many cultures, in the religions of Buddhism is associated with spiritual enlightenment and in Hinduism the lotus flower meaning is associated with beauty, fertility, prosperity, spirituality, and eternity. The Egyptians associated the lotus flower with the sun which also disappeared in the night, only to re-emerge in the morning. The lotus came to symbolize the Sun and the creation. It is no wonder that these civilizations, have found wonderment in such a beautiful flower.
