Passiflora incarnata is a subtropical vine native to the Americas. The herbaceous shoots bear three-lobed, finely-serrated leaves and highly ornamental, flesh-colored or yellowish, sweet-scented flowers, tinged with purple. The ripe, orange-colored, ovoid, many-seeded berry is about the size of a small apple. The yellow pulp is sweet and edible.
The dried, above-ground parts are listed in the pharmacopoeias of the U.S., India, Great Britain, and other European countries. Passionflower seems to have a calming effect and is traditionally enjoyed as a relaxing tea.*

Red poppy (Papaver rhoeas) has been found in Egyptian tombs dating back 3000 years. This flower was reportedly often combined with the flowers of blue lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and is now a staple component of many resin smoking and incense blends due to its gentle qualities.
Our poppy comes from the same private, organic farm that grows our exclusive Blue Lotus petals.

Aztec marigold is indigenous from Mexico to Guatemala and naturalized in the rest of Central America and the western Andes of South America. In the Oaxaca region of Mexico, the Zapotecs used Tagetes as a primary herb in purification rituals. The plant is popular with the Tarahumara Indians of Chihuahua and is used by the modern Huichol Indians in their religious rituals. The botanical genus name Tagetes is in reference to a Roman deity, Tages, who was originally an Etruscan god of prophecy. Today, Tagetes erecta continues to be a strong smoking herb — especially when blended in equal amounts with Mexican Tarragon (Tagetes lucida); a super combination the Aztecs dubbed "Zempaxochitl." This product is not intended or sold for ingestion by humans or animals. It is sold only for use as an incense or for smoking. WARNING: Smoking anything, including herbal products of any kind, are harmful to the body.

White Lotus is closely related to Nymphaea caerulea (Blue Lily), which was worshipped as a sacred plant and was a symbol for the origins of life. White Lotus is extremely similar to Blue Lily, but because it is in less demand and less colorful, we can offer it as a less expensive, but extremely popular alternative.

Found only in a small section of South Africa as well as India, these flowers are part of our " Private Reserve" offerings that no other vendor offers. Find our WILD DAGGA LEAF, RESINS, & TINCTURES Category that explains the difference between the two main strains of Wild Dagga. This variety contains the large SEED PODS, which is what separates this stronger strain from the weaker Lion's Tail strain. Notice that the photos of each product are different, and there's a reason for this: Lion's Tail is weaker and less expensive (but still a very nice product). Many vendors we've found try to "pass off" that less expensive variety as "THE" infamous "Klip Dagga" variety.

The active component responsible for the pleasant effects of this plant is Leonurine, which has now been isolated and is being synthesized in a lab, but of course, it's less effective than the actual plant. South Africa made this plant famous, and use is reported among several indigenous tribes who used both the leaves and the flowers of this powerful spiritual ally. The flowers were often added to tobacco, but also act as powerful enhancer for many other herbs. The flowers are where the most concentrated active alkaloids are, and as you decide on your Wild Dagga purchase, know this: There are many who offer Wild Dagga Flowers, but it's important to know this that these particular flowers are from the LESS STRONG (and less expensive) variety called "Leonotus leonurus" and not the more portent strain known as "Leonotis nepetifolia." The stronger strain of Wild Dagga flowers is also called "Klip Dagga" (and this goes for the leaves as well). This is why we offer more than just one variety of plants; to educate you about what is real about and what is often misrepresented by many unscrupluous vendors on the internet. Find our WILD DAGGA LEAF, RESIN & TINCTURES article that explains the difference between the two main strains of Wild Dagga. This particular variety (Lion's Tail) DOES NOT HAVE SEED PODS because this Lion's Tail variety does not grow from seed pods. This produces a much larger amount of flowers, but as is to be expected, is less strong than the Klip Dagga Flowers that we also offer. Ours flowers are soft, orange flowers only, hand-picked, with no pods, and already less expensive than anywhere else we have found, but find out for yourself; do the research, find the truth, and decide for yourself!
