We know winter is close when the Monk's Hood starts flowering. Although pretty to look at, we have been told that all parts are deadly poison. We have 5 plants on the north side and they are very hardy. All 5 have survived several night in the -5C range. I guess the season/ location is not good because in 8 years they have never set seed. Maybe that's a good thing!
Beautiful flower and I cannot believe we are talking about winter already.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful...hard to believe that something so pretty can be poison! Will the snow soon be flying in your neck of the woods?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteAmazing that they could survive in weather that cold. Poison plants - yuck.
