Today, the plant has almost completely disappeared from around the Nile and is seriously endangered. Blue lily is only found in the Nile delta, the wetlands along the Nile, and, less frequently, Palestine. The long-stemmed, floating leaves are round. The plant has dark to sky blue flowers, sometimes tinted with purple, that sit on long stems four to five feet above the water’s surface. The flowers are highly valued for their exquisite beauty, their intoxicating lilac-like scent, their symbolism, and their inebriating effects. One of the most important ritual plants of ancient Egypt, the blue lily flower grows wild in ponds and the lowlands of the Nile, and was planted in natural and man-made bodies of water. COMMON NAMES: Blue Lotus Flower, Blaue Lotusblume, Lotus (Roman), Nymphaea (Roman), Ssn (Egyptian), Utpala (Sanskrit), Blue Water Lily, Egyptian Lotus, Sacred Lily of the Nile, Nenuphar Bleu de Ciel, Djaberi Djongel
