The scientific name for the water lily is "Nymphaea". It comes from a Greek word "nymph", and according to the Greek mythology, it means a feminine spirit that inhabited water bodies like wells, waterways, and springs. In Asian cultures, the water lily represents universality, because the aquatic plant produces blossoms and fruits simultaneously. According to Buddhism, enlightenment is associated with this blossom. Different colored water lilies signify different traits; the red lily connotes love and passion and is the lotus of the heart. The purple lily is mystic power, while the blue lily is associated with knowledge. And, the highest deity is represented with a pink lily. “Pink Water Lily and Frog” is a digital painting created by Spadecaller.
