Quest for the Blue or Yellow Orchid

BLUE ORCHID (#26/30, #178/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a single-stemmed flowering plant with ovoid green leaves, and bright blue blooms.

Distribution: Forests and woods across Titan.

 

Effects: The Blue Orchid can be used as a substitute for any other ingredient in the making of a Blue Potion (see Encyclopedia Arcana: Volume 1, p. XX). The other herbs that Blue Orchid can be substituted for are Coriander, Lemongrass and Turmeric. A bunch of Blue Orchid flowers can also be ground down to create an Eye Tincture. This potion, when applied to one's eyes, negates any irritation or penalty associated with poor vision. However, it cannot cure blindness or replace lost eyes.

Availability: Common

Further Notes:  Blue Orchids often grow alongside Foxgloves (see the Titan Herbal, p. 34), and are related to the Yellow Orchid (see p. XX). They are one of the types of plants sold by Faye's Flowers in the central Allansian town of Hamelin, and are also exhibited alongside Black Lotus (see the Titan Herbal, p. 22) in Lord Azzur's Public Gardens in Port Blacksand.
