I've found and observed a single spot for 2 days now, and if my observation is correct, the respawn of Black Lotus at a particular node is about 2 days (~48 hours). Ridiculous, if one considers how many people are after that ingredient.

I've never quite understood the mechanics of herb and mine spawn points, but I think that some spawn points are interconnected. That is, it might be that there are four spots in Winterspring where black lotus can spawn but that those spawn points are related. So, if you pick lotus in one spot, the lotus will respawn some hours later, but it might choose to respawn at any of the four points. In this scenario, you would never see more than one black lotus up in Winterspring at any given time and if you watched only one spawn point, it's possible that you could go for 48+ hours and never see it respawn at that one point, because the lotus keeps spawning at other points if it ever gets picked at all while you are watching.
