Since ancient times in Buddhism, the lotus symbolizes beauty and innocence. As soon as dusk falls, he hides his snow-white petals back under the water, so that, shining, open at dawn. The white lotus is a symbol of rebirth, happiness, purity, spirituality. Buddhists believe that he is perfect. There is no more perfect flower than a lotus.
By species diversity, it is a relative of water lilies. His native region is the waters of the Nile River. That is why in ancient Egypt, the white lotus was a symbol of power, and the pharaohs were often depicted sitting on it. Large flowers are always facing the sun. But its greatest exclusivity is that in dirty, muddy, silty water it always remains snow-white.

Indeed, its name is the best suited for this plant. The flowers are so unusual that they look like an open fan. Each petal is as sharp as the tip of an arrow.

This romantic name is associated with hundreds of legends. The Germans call it the “flower of the heart, " the French call it the heart of Jeanette, and the Poles call it the "shoe of the Mother of God."

During his life, Foster bred 200 new varieties of Bromeliad and raised hundreds of hybrids. Thanks to him, love for this plant has spread far beyond the United States.

The roots went to livestock feed, and medicines were prepared from dried petals. The flower dahlia in the Aztec mythology is also associated with the fact that the God of war was born with it.
Amazing Exotics
Fancy flowers are hard to come by. They are very rare in the world and, as a rule, grow in the most inaccessible places. Some are endemic, or there are only a few. Consider the most beautiful flowers in the world, which are very rare:
- Kadupul. The flowering time of this plant is only a few hours. The onset usually begins at midnight, and by dawn the cadupool dies. You can meet him only in some forests of Sri Lanka. Because of its unusualness, enterprising aborigines have learned to earn on a tourist pilgrimage to this flower.
- Ghost Orchid. A rare flower with roots resembling a cobweb. It grows only in Cuba. A ghost orchid can only live off other plants. It has no leaves and is intertwined with others so tightly that it is difficult to determine where its trunk is. The flower itself has an outlandish shape and seems to soar through the air.
- "The beak of a parrot." A flower resembling fire is the brightest representative of the Canary Islands. Flowers in nature gradually disappear. This is due to the fact that the birds of the nectaria died out. It was these tiny birds that pollinated the "beak of a parrot." Now pollination in reserves is carried out manually.
