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…

Just as the bees…
