Mountain Death Camas—as the name implies—is highly toxic. Just one bulb contains enough of the steroidal alkaloid zygadenine to kill an animal or adult human. As such, it should be planted thoughtfully, away from pets, livestock, and curious children. With that said, it is a striking native wildflower known for its graceful, nodding clusters of…
The pleated gentian is one of the more rare gentians in Minnesota. According to the Minnesota DNR, it is a species of special concern that seems to be found only in very specific conditions along the margins of northwestern Minnesota. Also known as northern gentian, Rocky Mountain gentian, it is—as the name implies—a primary resident…
Don’t let the name fool you—this goldenrod isn’t golden at all. Solidago ptarmicoides, more often called upland white goldenrod or prairie aster, offers crisp white blooms that resemble small daisies, rising above stiff stems and narrow gray-green foliage. Blooming from late summer into fall, this species brings a fresh, clean contrast to the warm golds…

Wild bergamot, also called bee balm and spotted horsemint, is a common, early-successional prairie plant with several wonderful characteristics. When in bloom, its little firecracker-style blossoms are almost continuously visited by bees. I can hardly form an image of these flowers in my head without a bee rummaging through its petals! Just as the bees…
