The plant has adapted to survive in rough, inhospitable terrain with poor soil and little water and is leafless, with swollen stems and spines. Over 2,000 species exist. All of them produce blossoms and fruit, but only two--saguaro and organ pipe cactus--produce white flowers. Cacti make attractive (if thorny) landscape plants in warm, dry climates and provide habitats and food for birds and wildlife.

The flowers may turn brown but still remain on the plants over winter, and this can lead to interesting effects.</span></div><dl class="normal"><dt style="font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: capitalize;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kingdom</span></dt><dd style="line-height: 19px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plantae</span></dd><dt style="font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: capitalize;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Division</span></dt><dd style="line-height: 19px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Magnoliophyta</span></dd><dt style="font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: capitalize;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Class</span></dt><dd style="line-height: 19px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Magnoliopsida</span></dd><dt style="font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: capitalize;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Order</span></dt><dd style="line-height: 19px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ericales</span></dd><dt style="font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: capitalize;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Family</span></dt><dd style="line-height: 19px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ericaceae</span></dd><dt style="font-weight: bold; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: capitalize;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Genus</span></dt><dd style="line-height: 19px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Calluna</span></dd></dl><div style="line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"></div><div class="floatinghomesectionright" style="float: right; width: 30em;"></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heathers are found throughout Western Europe and in some parts of northeastern North America and Siberia. Heather varieties are widely cultivated in rock gardens for cut flower arrangement. A low mound of handsome greenery topped by multiple spikes of colored flowers; Heathers are native to Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, Russia, and northern North America. The Heather plant is one of the primary plant species grown on the poor, acid, sandy soils which is typical of heaths.</span><div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">In Heather flowers, the corolla is showy in true heaths, and in the Erica genus, heathers have showy pink or rarely, white sepals that overlap the corolla. There are two types of Winter Heather plants. The lower, winter spreading types are grown as ground covers, in rockeries, containers or for spot color in flower and shrub beds. While the upright winter varieties are best suited for borders, spot color, massing or as container plants. The flowers of both types are ideal for small winter arrangements.</span></span></div></div>

If the vine is to be grown as a ground-cover, the upward twining stems will need trimming. First irrigation should be given immediately after planting and subsequent irrigation at an interval of seven to ten days. Stem cutting and sowing of seeds are handy methods for the propagation of the plant.</span></div><ul style="line-height: 19px; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><li style="left: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 2.5em; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mild fertilizers are required for best growth.</span></li><li style="left: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 2.5em; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Temperature must be controlled.</span></li><li style="left: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 2.5em; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jasmine needs regular pinching and shaping to control growth.</span></li><li style="left: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 2.5em; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If not planted at a proper distance, plants will quickly become crowded.</span></li><li style="left: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 2.5em; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Containerized plants should be planted in the fall.</span></li><li style="left: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 2.5em; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fully developed, unopened flower buds should be picked in early morning.</span></li></ul><h2 style="border-bottom-color: rgb(170, 207, 233); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding-bottom: 0.17em; padding-top: 0.5em; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Plant Variations</span></h2><div style="line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many creeping groundcovers can also transform upwards.

They grew wild in ponds and in the lowlands of the Nile and were planted in all natural and artificial bodies of water. They were esteemed for their beauty, their enchanting hyacinth-like scent, their symbolism, and probably also their inebriating effects. The buds and flowers were popular head and hair ornaments. Both the living and the dead were festooned with garlands made from the plant. The garlands in the grave of the great pharaoh Ramses II (1290-1223 B.C.E.) were almost entirely of white and blue lotus. The Egyptian lotus was described by Dioscorides, who was certainly aware of the blue lotus as well.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Blue Lotus was found scattered over Tutankhamen's body when the Pharaoh's tomb was opened in 1922. Many historians thought it was a purely symbolic flower, but there may be some reason to believe that ancient Egyptians used it to induce an ecstatic state, stimulation, and hallucinations, as well as being widely used as a general remedy against illness.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rumored to contain apomorphine - a dopamine agonist - as well as perhaps nuciferine. Where unfounded when in 2000 at Dr. Vic Garner's laboratory for forensic analysis is Manchester, England, the Egyptian mummy Azru was the first mummy to undergo mass spectroscopy. She had no narcotics or painkillers in her. They found phytosterols, bioflavonoids, and phosphodiesterase, the active ingredient of viagra, all from blue lotus. No drug use has ever been found in ancient Egypt. Azru, is an Egyptian mummy donated to the Manchester Museum in England, in 1825. Living on the Nile, in 2700 B.C, Azru was royalty, a noblewoman of Thebes, later called Luxor, a former capital of Egypt, a chantress at Khonsu - the moon god was the son of Amon and Mut. The main temple at Karnak is dedicated to him. Three times a day she would bring food and wine with blue lotus tincture or extract, fetch garments for the gods, priests and Pharaoh, and dance and sing for the royal court. She had wealth, and her own home and servants, where she stayed until scheduled or called to the temple. There is evidence to suggest that it was a very sexually oriented society due to their pictures, writings, and religious beliefs. And, that blue lotus was historically, traditionally and effectively used, to relieve pain, increase memory, increase circulation, promote sexual desire and create a feeling of euphoria and ecstasy, without the use of narcotics.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_XjU-z5XTUwlQP2NDaB2PVNVU27etMu4_9yqjVediFU1esKztqXlrOz_EQJKS3rnJP9196aryDHVGO_cqR214CHOyv7xxKx-y6wzprsWF3PmFiB7I9nAU1s_K80ytiggS_sFZ4L1pae8p/s1600/Water+lily+flowers+images.+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_XjU-z5XTUwlQP2NDaB2PVNVU27etMu4_9yqjVediFU1esKztqXlrOz_EQJKS3rnJP9196aryDHVGO_cqR214CHOyv7xxKx-y6wzprsWF3PmFiB7I9nAU1s_K80ytiggS_sFZ4L1pae8p/s320/Water+lily+flowers+images.+(2).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><h4 style="border: none; clear: left; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 1em 35px; padding: 0.5em 0px 0px; text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5888015295697009900" id="traditional_and_ritual_use" name="traditional_and_ritual_use" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traditional and Ritual use:</span></a></h4><div class="level4" style="line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 38px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traditionally made into a tea or smoked to induce hypnotic and relaxation effects. Sometimes used to reach calm sensations with alterations of perception. Indeed, this flower essence's purpose is to accelerate spiritual evolvement and enhance healing on every level within the system.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In ancient Egypt, the blue lotus was closely linked to the detailed and visionary concepts of the afterlife and rebirth. Numerous buds, petals, and garlands have been found as mummy decorations and grave goods. The flower stands for the enlightened and reawakened consciousness of the deceased; it is “that lotus flower which shines in the earth”. (Book of the dead, chapter 174). In the story of the battle between Horus and Seth, the lotus flower appears as a symbol of the divine, all-seeing eye. When Seth tracks down the resting Horus beneath a tree in an oasis, he rips both eyes from the sleeper and buries them in the sand, whereupon they are transformed into lotus flowers.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because of the mythological, cosmological, symbolic, and artistic significance of the water lily, William Emboden (1978) has suggested that the ancient Egyptians used the blue lotus for its narcotic effects to produce a shamanic ecstasy among an elite priesthood. Since the blue lotus is usually portrayed in association with mandrakes and poppy flowers, it is highly probably that these images represent an “iconographic recipe”. A psychoactive ritual drink consisting of lotus buds, mandrake fruits, and poppy capsules is entirely conceivable.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimLWl1qies03GIWD_MlllfiqXmAaUuC1DGiqPTOVTKlB_UUUmyUv3-kK9nTezFY3xRHQJQf_eBdF7CyNcLr86GZM6pGq2Kp7xJnjFbjY_-1lARSytKg0-vFDmml0g9tKW-cnaJpC58EOTT/s1600/Water+lily+flowers+images.+(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimLWl1qies03GIWD_MlllfiqXmAaUuC1DGiqPTOVTKlB_UUUmyUv3-kK9nTezFY3xRHQJQf_eBdF7CyNcLr86GZM6pGq2Kp7xJnjFbjY_-1lARSytKg0-vFDmml0g9tKW-cnaJpC58EOTT/s320/Water+lily+flowers+images.+(3).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><h4 style="border: none; clear: left; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 1em 35px; padding: 0.5em 0px 0px; text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5888015295697009900" id="traditional_medicinal_use" name="traditional_medicinal_use" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traditional medicinal use:</span></a></h4><div class="level4" style="line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 38px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The perfume of this flower was not only pleasing to the Egyptian, but they saw it as healing as well. In ancient Egypt, water lilies were prescribed to treat the liver, to remedy constipation, to counteract poisons, and to regulate the urine. Blue lotus was also used in Ancient Egypt as a key to good health, Sex and re-birth. An aphrodisiac for men and women as well as a general remedy for all illness; enhancing sexual vigor and general good health. It’s regarded as a tonic richer like ginseng, pain reliever richer than arnica, circulation stimulant richer than ginkgo biloba, and an excellent sexual stimulant; creating a feeling of well-being, euphoria and ecstasy.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2As31nPcVnenvV3W6I_2LMsD0ldso0hTAwp1VM3XP9i0Hbf-Z5cwKLsJkAmsgMxleLOHlioYfBQ-hYmFPb4x8BuLifbsKqBWyFzIaobvkSbRV4Mmn0P3A5K3p2kYdPosMvnEGQMUItFrI/s1600/Water+lily+flowers+images.+(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2As31nPcVnenvV3W6I_2LMsD0ldso0hTAwp1VM3XP9i0Hbf-Z5cwKLsJkAmsgMxleLOHlioYfBQ-hYmFPb4x8BuLifbsKqBWyFzIaobvkSbRV4Mmn0P3A5K3p2kYdPosMvnEGQMUItFrI/s320/Water+lily+flowers+images.+(4).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><h4 style="border: none; clear: left; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 1em 35px; padding: 0.5em 0px 0px; text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5888015295697009900" id="constituents" name="constituents" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Constituents:</span></a></h4><div class="level4" style="line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 38px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blue Lotus is Rumored to contain aporphine or apomorphine (6a-beta-aporphine-10,11- diol [Merck]) - a dopamine agonist - as well as perhaps nuciferine (1,2-dimethoxy aporphine).
