 * __//Egyptian Lotus//__**

The Egyptian Lotus, like any other lotus, grows in muddy waters and rises above the water's surface to get nutrients from the sun. At night it submerges and then surfaces again at dawn. In both ancient and modern Egyptian times the lotus is the symbol of the sun. The main predators of the lotus flower are humans because they are the only ones who get the edible lotus from the pods.
