Red Lotus
Nymphaea rubra
Red lotus (Nymphaea rubra) is a red water lily from South and Southeast Asia, a relative of blue lotus. Its history, and how the Trippy Stick uses it.
The plant
Red lotus is the common name for Nymphaea rubra, a water lily with deep red to pink flowers that opens at night. It grows in still, warm freshwater across India, Bangladesh, Thailand and neighboring countries, and has been cultivated for ponds and ceremonial use for centuries.
Red lotus and blue lotus
Red lotus is often discussed alongside blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), the Egyptian water lily. They are sibling species in the same genus and have been used in similar ways, as dried flowers for tea, infusions and smoking blends, but they are different plants with different flowers and different regional histories.
Traditional use
In the regions where it grows, red lotus flowers have been dried for teas and infusions, offered in temples and used in folk preparations. That history is why the flower shows up in modern botanical products; it is not a claim about what the plant does for you.
