The dried flowers smell Very pungent, but when crushed and mixed with other HH greenery and smoked (haven't tried tea), I find blue lotus gives a light, transparent feeling of peacefulness after a hectic day; it's a very subtle and not at all wipe-out level like some plants ;) although it can enhance those too :) Holding a clear intention in my mind really helps direct the experience.

Blue Lily

Loved it to use as a tobacco replacement and haven't tried it on trees yet, but I'm sure either way it's pleasant effects go well with the cannabis plant very well indeed! I'll be trying more next time. 😉💜💚💜

I feel such a connection to the Blue Lily! ( and looking at the reviews, I can see I'm not the only one!). The effects of this are definitely more spiritual than physical, so if you're looking for some kind of full blown psychedelic experience, you'll be disappointed here. ( That being said, I had a pretty amazing experience with a mix of Blue Lily and Sun Opener, which I've gone into more detail about in my review for Sun Opener aka Sinicuichi..).

I love how the flowers taste ( and look) in a tea, and have also soaked them in vodka ( and wine, but be warned- Blue lotus REALLY changes the flavour of the wine...and not for the better! I'd recommend vodka instead, which you can then mix with something tasty). The flowers can also be smoked ( I've not smoked them on their own, but have used them mixed with other herbs). I feel like this plant connects you to your intuition/ higher self in a subtle but noticeable way. As with all herbs like this, I feel that you need to approach ingestion of Blue Lily as a ritual and set an intention. As I mentioned in the review title, this plant is for those who are open to the more 'woo-woo' aspects of existence! If you're just looking to *get high*, you'll be disappointed. You need to be paying attention...

All in all, a lovely plant.

I love Blue Lotus and just wanted to comment that I accidentally stumbled across an amazing combination -I had some Damiana tea and some Tulsi tea (both in loose leaf form) lying around so I brewed a large pot with a loose fistful of blue lotus flowers and about a heaped tablespoon each of Tulsi and Damiana. Well! I was in for some fun. I felt relaxed yet energised at the same time and a little giddy / mildly euphoric and got a bit giggly on and off. Felt so free and happy - almost intoxicated but completely in my right mind! What a great experience, I will definitely be trying that combination again. Feels great to have an alternative to a drink in the evenings as I don’t drink alcohol. Have found Blue lotus a bit cheaper elsewhere but I do really like and trust Happy Herb Co as a company. I have been told the stamen and leaves produce a better result than the whole flower but I cannot comment as to whether this is true or not as I’ve never compared the two.
