Call To Order
Red Lotus (nymphaea rubra) is a member of the waterlily family and is known
commonly as Indian Red Waterlily. It is a close relative of Sacred Blue
Waterlily (nymphaea caerulea), which is known commonly as Blue Lotus. Although
both are referred to as “lotus” this can be misleading because the true lotus
is in the genus nelumbo. Aside from being visually similar, all these flowers
have similar alkaloids and herbal uses. All are used in essential oil
production, aromatherapy and soap making, although red lotus naturally has a
gentler scent. It is also a bit harder to find.
