Wolfsbane

Photobucket
Monkshood, also known as Wolfsbane, is a flowering plant belonging to the buttercup family. It is a tall spiked cluster of hooded flowers deep blue to purple in color and green spiky leaves.

They grow in well drained yet moist areas near my camp on the Noatak River. All part of Monkshood, especially the root, are very, very toxic.
