Did you know North America has a native lotus? Nelumbo lutea or yellow lotus is one of only two wild lotus species left on the planet. This prehistoric giant produces the largest flower in North America - the size of your head! The leaves average two feet across. It grows from the Great Lakes down to Central America and the Caribbean. It is edible, medicinal, mildly poisonous, and mildly psychoactive. Many Native American tribes believed it had mystical powers.

Can you rant about a random plant I need to be info dumped on

This is Nelumbo lutea, also known as the American Lotus.

Their roots settle into the mud below, but they flower and develop leaves above the surface of the water. They grow much taller than one might expect—some of them have been known to reach five feet (about 1.52 meters).

Unfortunately, due to the destruction of ecosystems, they are now considered endangered in a few states, such as Michigan and New Jersey.

This lotus is edible—you can shake the seeds loose and eat them. They are sometimes referred to as "alligator corn", which is humorous. You can also eat the leaves and I believe (don't quote me on this) the stem.

Most people, when they think of lotuses, tend to think of the Asian counterpart, Nelumbo Nucifera, which is commonly referred to as a water lotus/water lily, and looks like this:

This particular lotus has a long range, spotted in places as far apart as India and Australia. Its seeds can remain dormant for over a thousand years and still be viable, which may be why they are respected for their longevity in Chinese culture.

Its seeds are also edible, so if you find yourself in a pinch around either of these lotuses, you can breathe easy—they do provide sustenance in addition to being aesthetically pleasing.

There's a fair amount of diversity for this lotus, so you can't count on counting petals to help you identify it positively. The cultivated variety Ohmi Myoren can have up to 5000 petals on a single bloom, so I doubt you'd want to petal count it anyways.

It looks like this:

Review of NACIFIC's Phyto Niacin Whitening Essence

NACIFIC is a Korean brand that uses only the best natural ingredients. Their Phyto Niacin Whitening Essence is designed to moisturize the skin and reduce pigmentation, it's formulated to brighten dull skin for a flawless complexion. Key ingredients include: 5% of niacinamide (whitening, lightening, anti-aging, rejuvenating, anti-wrinkle), bamboo extract (soothing, adds vitality, anti-inflammatory, removes dry skin, antioxidant, healing, hydrating), lemon fruit extract (skin clearing, brightening, lightening, anti-inflammatory, improves skin health), sodium hyaluronate (anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, hydrating, moisturizing, healing), white mulberry bark extract (antioxidant, anti-irritation, evens skin tone, whitening), edelweiss extract (anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, calming), and wormwood extract (healing, antibacterial, anti-fungal, skin protective, soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-redness, adds radiance to the skin). This essence retails for between $12-18 USD, you can get it here for $12.80 + shipping.

Ingredients

Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Niacinamide (5%), 1,2-Hexanediol, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Water, Potassium Hydroxide, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Extract, Alcohol, Morus Alba (White Mulberry) Bark Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum (Edelweiss) Extract, Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether, Gentiana Lutea Root Extract, Artemisia Absinthium (Wormwood) Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Nelumbo Nucifera (Sacred Lotus) Extract, Sodium Benzoate

This essence contains 50 ml (1.69 oz) and is fragrance-free. It comes in a sturdy plastic bottle with a dropper.

The essence is very watery and clear.

It's very lightweight and hydrating.

It leaves skin looking more dewy and brighter.

Recommended use is after washing your face and toning, lightly shake the essence and apply it with your fingertips along your skin texture. Cover your face with your palms and press down for better absorption. After using, this essence is really impressive to me. It doesn't have any fragrance, but it does contain a couple of irritants, this also might not work with very very sensitive skin as it has active niacinamide and lemon extract, I do notice that it can burn if you have any broken skin or skin that's been picked at. The essence spreads very well and helps to plump and hydrate skin and you will notice a subtle brightening of the skin as well after each use. It helps to tone redness and even skin tone, it helps to refresh dull and dry skin. The ingredients are very hydrating as well as nourishing to the skin. The texture of the essence is really watery and lightweight, so this would be great for any skin type. It's also not sticky or tacky at all. I feel like this is actually pretty gentle despite having some irritants and actives so I'd recommend this to pretty much anyone unless you have issues with niacinamide.

What I like: this essence is really lightweight, it absorbs quickly and layers perfectly well under other skincare. It's almost instantly subtly brightening and it's very hydrating without being tacky or sticky. The ingredients are really good and this is relatively gentle and would probably suit most skin types. What I don't like: this does sting on open wounds or cuts and it does have some irritants.

Pros:

Hydrating

Nourishing

Refreshing

Brightening

Tones redness

Nice ingredients

Pretty gentle

Fragrance-free

Cons:

Can sting on open wounds

Can be irritating

Would I buy again?

Yes

Rating: 9/10

💙 Crystalline Heart 💙

Atreus’ spell - Crystalline Heart

This spell is basically a Crystal attribute spell which only use one time. This spell also have different variations - sibling bond, friendship, and familial love, and soul mate.

The soul mate variation is basically like a gift for the one you see as your soul mate. But if your soul mate break it by cheating or have not share the same feeling. You become emotionless/heartless. The cure is when someone who show you the meaning of love.

Atreus used this spell, the sibling bond & familial love twice…. One time for the Starco kid, Xandria (however he lost access to her verse and it is believe her existence and her universe is erased. He was depressed afterward after finding out about this news from Omnitraxus Prime. Xandria belongs to princess—xandria, however that Tumblr blog is deleted because they moved on from the SVTFOE Fandom. That is why I typed this information on Xandria’s fate), and the second time is for his siblings as a gift to celebrated the 4th anniversary of the Starbulus Club - Prima @tolstolobik, Nightmare @lloydicnakydrawingofficiel, Rhomby and Rhombina @mokstagger, Oscar @skullsenpai, Danna @pigeons-svtfoe-au, Santos @danis-dinis-d, Kite & Doru @idontnowhownameuser, and the other Starbulus siblings.

Credit for the title, Crystalline Heart goes to @nelumbo-lutea.

Lotus paintings by CHANDRU HIREMATH, Bangalore, India.

The lotus flower means purity, rebirth, and strength. It rises from the mud without stain, it returns to the murky water each evening and opens its blooms at the break of day exhibiting resilience and rebirth. Still another lotus flower meaning is transcendence: the lotus represents the transcending of man’s spirit over worldly matter as its blooms come from the underworld into the light.

The lotus is referenced in Vedic texts dating back to 1400 BC. Hindu deities are frequently depicted with lotus flowers (or are otherwise associated with the lotus flower in some way). As the national flower of India, the lotus has long served as a symbol within the country’s arts, culture, philosophy, and religions.

Lotus flowers fall under the genus Nelumbo, which contains just two living species of aquatic plants, both of them lotuses. These are:

Nelumbo nucifera—This is the better-known species of lotus. It's native to much of Asia, including India, China and Vietnam, and can be found in parts of Australia, as well. This particular species is often called the "Sacred Lotus", because it's the species that has been revered in Buddhism and Hinduism religious traditions for centuries.

Nelumbo lutea—The second living lotus species is Nelumbo lutea, which is native to North and Central America. This species is not as well known as Nelumbo nucifera, and doesn't have the same religious significance. It's also sometimes called the "yellow lotus", owing to its yellow petals, and the "American lotus", for obvious reasons.

Despite their delicate appearance, lotuses are actually incredibly hardy plants. Their seeds can survive underground for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. That's how the lotus flower survived the last Ice Age.

Lotus leaves are superhydrophobic, meaning they repel water.

As water droplets fall upon the leaves, they gather up dirt and other foreign materials as they roll off the surface, allowing the leaves to self-clean.

This behaviour in nature is termed the "lotus effect", and it's something scientists and engineers have begun trying to replicate to create more water-repellent fabrics.

All parts of the lotus plant are edible.

Mab’s Drawlloween Club Day 6: Botanical Beasts

The prehistoric giants yellow pond lily (nuphar lutea) and American lotus (nelumbo lutea). Do you ever stop to think about the scale of some plants if you could see them whole from root to leaf? These two would loom over you, their shadow would swallow yours.

I love them because they are millions of years old, humans have been using them since forever, and they are simultaneously edible, medicinal, poisonous, and psychoactive.

[Image description: A quiet, shallow corner of the reservoir near my house. The sky is grey-blue and cloudy. Verdant green is the only other color represented in various shades. In the foreground, rosemallow (Hibiscus laevis), stands on the shore. In a few weeks the pink blossoms will erupt forth from its flimsy stems but for now the dark green, maple-like leaves bear only the geometric, angular buds. In the center, standing up out of the water, is a stand of American lotus (Nelumbo lutea) so dense you can’t see the murky depths below. Ascending above the water are the leaves—large, bright green, and slightly cupped like singed pepperoni—and the blossoms. The blossoms are gigantic, butter yellow flowers with thick, leathery petals arranged around a large ovary that looks like a cheap shower head, dotted with many holes and arrayed with twisty stamens that smell faintly sweet. Around the shallow area are black willows (Salix nigra) with long, slender, silvery leaves that rustle in any breeze.]

This shallow at the lake would be popular for fishing but the lotus are to thick to cast through. Sometimes fishers sink their baits just on the edge of the leaves where the water deepens to lure sunfish and crappies out from the shady seclusion. In the past few years the lotus have been spreading, I can’t tell if they introduced it in multiple places or if the seeds and tubers have floated around the lake until they find footing. Mid-July is my favorite time for this lake because the lotus and rosemallow are both in full swing. The lotus is fleeting but the rosemallow lingers.

Dormancy and bloom, they may seem like stark contrasts of each other , and in a sense they are; but, it’s all a part of phenology. Both are fascinating and beautiful.

Nelumbo lutea, Eastern Yellow Water Lotus,

Glenwood Gardens, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Phenology is a concept that means the collective ecological interactions and the development lifecycle a plant undergoes in a year from dormancy to breaking dormancy and the life cycle between that contains growth.

Even in dormancy we see the plant function, In the left photograph we can see the decay that occurs along stems has a weakened abscission zone that causes a nod and forces the seeds to drop out as the seed pod dries and shrinks.
