June 29 - Death Camas, Camas Wand Lily

Lots of death camas or camas wand lily (Zygadenus elegans) blooming today along the rocky ridge above Antler Creek.  Compared to all other flowers found along the ridge line, this is a tall plant, growing over 12 inches (30 cm) tall with long narrow leaves.  As the name implies, it is a highly toxic poisonous plant.
