They have even been found in paintings, including many of famous impressionist artist Claude Monet’s paintings. Water lilies are one of the oldest flowering plants in the world today, first blooming over 100 million years ago.
The name water lily came from the greek word “nymph” which means protector of rivers - fitting, right? They have become a strong symbol in buddhism and hinduism culture as they represent rebirth and resurrection because of their ability to emerge from the water's depth and spring to life.
Water lilies were put to good use in traditional medicine practices. They worked as an anti-inflammatory and helped calm nervous systems, making them a popular treatment for insomnia and anxiety disorders.
