egypt-museum:Decorated vase from the tomb of KhaIn ancient Egypt there were two kinds of lotus flowers, a blue and a white one. The blue was the most sacred and was greatly appreciated, with its delicate and sweet aroma. Egyptians imagined this flower as a goblet, which opened on the water as the cradle of the sun in the morning. New Kingdom, mid 18th Dynasty, ca. 1425-1353 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum of Turin. -- source link
