History

Pink Lotus Flower (Nelumbo Nucifera, previously known as Nymphaea Nelumbo) is also known as Sacred Lotus. Pink Lotus Flower belongs to the Nelumbonaceae family, which is sometimes referred to as the sacred lotus family. The lotus family is often confused with the lily family Nymphaea (known for Blue Lotus), but genetically these families are very distant relatives. Pink Lotus is found in warm and tropical regions of Asia: from Iran to China, Japan, Indonesia, and Northeastern Australia.

The sacred lotus has captured people’s imagination for thousands of years. For Buddhists, the Pink Lotus is a sacred plant. The flower symbolizes purity, cleanness and beauty, because its beauty arises from the dirty, dark mud of swamps and marshes. In Buddhist art and architecture, the most venerated gods are often depicted sitting on a lotus flower.

Pink Lotus is the national flower of India, Egypt, and Vietnam. Producer
