Blue Lotus: A Rare and Enchanting Water Lily This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Blue Lotus, Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea, also known as Nymphaea caerulea. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Blue Lotus, a rare and enchanting water lily, is native to the Nile River and its tributaries in Egypt and Sudan. This beautiful aquatic plant is renowned for its unique blue-violet flowers, which bloom at night and emit a pleasant fragrance. The flowers are believed to have mildly intoxicating and sedative properties, making them a subject of fascination for ancient Egyptians, who used them in religious and medicinal practices. The intricate details of the Blue Lotus in this lithograph are a testament to the meticulous work of the skilled artists and printers of the time. The delicate petals, the veined leaves, and the rippling water surface are all rendered with exquisite precision and artistry. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and depth to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. This Blue Lotus print is not only a beautiful addition to any botanical collection, but it also serves as a reminder of the rich natural history and horticultural achievements of the past. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the dedication of those who have documented it for future generations.
