'Nilotic lotus' - it was blue (im not posting that whole document here but it is interesting if anyone wants to read it)
Museum).Lotus nectar may well have been the substance to which the mythology of On alludes in areference to the invigorating semen of the sun-god Nefertum, as we observe the king in reliefs atLuxor and elsewhere partaking of an ithyphallic god’s ejaculum as it spills over lotus flowers andlibation vases (Figure 7a; (Gillispie and Dewachter 1987, vol. 3, pls. 36.5, 36.6, 47.1)). Similar imagesoccur throughout Egypt, and clearly relate to the ubiquitous associations of lotus stalks with libationvases and urns that appear first during the Old Kingdom (2649–2150 BCE) at Saqqara during around2500 BCE. Lotus libation scenes only increase in frequency during the Middle and New Kingdoms(ca. 2050–1100 BCE) at Thebes, Abu Simbel and Abydos, and are encountered no less frequently atKom Ombo, Edfu and Meroe from 300–100 BCE.
