We provide Blue Lotus flower, ( Nymphaea
caerulea) it's often confused with Agapanthus africanus (Blue Lily).
Both Nymphaea caerulea and Agapanthus africanus are sometimes
refered to as the "blue lily". "Blue lily" seems
to be a more accurate name for Agapanthus africanus. Nymphaea
caerulea is more commonly called the "blue lotus flower"
or "blue water lily". It is Nymphaea caerulea (Blue Lotus)
which may have been used in ancient Egypt along with san pedro
cactus as an entheogen. Nymphaea caerulea ( Blue Lotus Plant ) is a
live water plant growing on the shores of lakes and rivers.
Agapanthus africanus (Blue Lily) are drought tolerant plants which
are commonly used as a landscaping plants in the U.S. Used by
ayurveda health practitioners. Blue Lotus extracts are used in
abhyanga massage, basti treatments, the arts and yoga.

Nymphaea nelumba L - Red lotus
CULTIVATION
Nymphaea caerulea flowers in the spring, should be planted in sunny
positions in medium or clay loam. Examining some relationships
between selected live blue lotus plant species in greater detail,
teams have determined that the beautiful native blue water-lily,
Nymphaea caerulea, can grow successfully only in locations free from
damage by the floating plant raft; but there is a constant
"see-saw" between lily germination from seeds in the lake
mud and the destruction of these new live plants by wind-blown
rafts. Thus the areas of the lake where lilies last long enough to
flower and set seed change every year, depending upon water level
and raft area. Teams constantly survey the lake for lilies to build
a dynamic picture of the changes.
HABITAT
Grows along lakes and rivers in wet soil. Indigenous to Tanzania,
Kenya
INFORMATION
Represented in ancient Egyptian art. The Sacred Narcotic Lily of the
Nile was found scattered over Tutankhamen's body when the Pharaoh's
tomb was opened in 1922. Many historians thought it was a purely
symbolic flower, but there may be some reason to believe that
ancient Egyptians used it to induce an ecstatic state, stimulation,
and/or hallucinations.
ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS
Rumored to contain aporphine or apomorphine
(6a-beta-aporphine-10,11-diol [Merck]) - a dopamine agonist - as
well as perhaps nuciferine (1,2-dimethoxy-aporphine).
