blue lotus
Egyptian sacred flower
Blue lotus is a water lily native to Egypt and parts of Africa, with blue or bluish-purple flowers that open during the day.
The plant has been used since ancient times for its mild psychoactive effects—producing relaxation and, in higher doses, euphoria.
It appears in Egyptian art as a symbol of creation and rebirth.
Today blue lotus is sold as a tea, tincture, or smoking blend, often marketed for lucid dreaming or stress relief.
Its legal status varies by jurisdiction.
