SRI LANKA · NATURE

Blue water lily

What it means: Connection to local nature; no universal spiritual meaning is verified here.

Sri Lankan government sources identify Nymphaea nouchali and have corrected confusion over the national flower's name and image.

Often chosen for: Family, home & belonging · Curiosity, creativity & wonder · Nature & the living world

Respectful use: Retain the species distinction from Nelumbo lotus and Egyptian water lilies. Do not import unrelated religious interpretations or imply official commercial endorsement.
