Geia sas everyone!
Since starting my new job i haven't had a lot of time for blogging & that makes me sad :( but i'm always happy when i can because it's something i really enjoy & my little creative outlet.
Onto today's post, the Blue Egyptian Lotus is a gorgeous flower, one i love for being so complex in it's beauty. It's the kind of flower that everyone has to stop & stare at because its so eye-catchingly unique.

In ancient Egypt the Blue Lotus (also called blue water-lilly) was a symbol for the Memphite god Nefertem.
He is show here with the lotus for a headdress as a symbol of fragrance and beauty.
It is also been used to make perfumes since ancient times.
It was very significant in ancient Egypt and was said to rise & fall with the sun.
Another interesting fact is that if eaten, the Blue Lotus acts as a mild sedative.
Such a stunning flower!
It is shown in this video for the song Louloudi Mou(my flower)
