Lotus Plants
The lotus blossom is a perennial water plant. The lotus has a distinctly different structure from the water lily, which is sometimes confused for it. Additionally, it is limited to pink shades or white, while lilies are available in a wide range of colors. The leaves float on the surface of a river or pond where the roots are anchored in the earth. According to certain studies, the lotus has the same capacity for temperature regulation as people and other creatures.
In ancient Egyptian religion, the lotus flower held great significance. It was a symbol of the sun,
signifying creation and rebirth, since it shuts at dusk and descends beneath the sea, only to rise above it at morning and reopen
It would emerge as pure white from the bottom of the murky swamp and grow above the water, making it the only plant to flower and fruit at the same time. One lotus-related story holds that the sun rose from a massive lotus flower that sprouted out of a pond during the time of creation. In addition, the lotus has appeared in numerous artworks from ancient Egypt.
