The plant is of a rusty color, growing on the fresher entrances of caves in the desert. They fall from the ceiling and become like a red curtain that separates the cave from the hot exterior. These vines are easily harvested, and it’s main use outside of alchemy is mostly in culinary and brewing arts.
Contents
Description
A woody bush which roots itself into small clefts and recesses, then grows outward over cave mouths or down cliffs and other shear edges. The stems are thick and weeping, like the branches of a willow tree, which support small round olive-coloured leaves. When flowering, the heads are large and hold numerous layers of deep red to purple petals.
Habitat and distribution
Hills and in dense forests, beside fallen trees and animal carcasses.
Harvesting
Cuttings from the ‘vine-like’ stems should include leaves and flowers for maximum benefit.
Cultivation
Can be ‘farmed’ in any suitable climate among crags, over cliffs or about caves. Require little maintenance.
Uses
Blood lotus has a strong metallic taste and aroma, as its name might suggest. Excessive consumption may lead the skin to discolors to a bright red-orange, and in extreme cases leads to calcification of the kidneys.
