Pretty Poison - _TNY_6416

Some flowers are just a bit unassuming - until you get closer and realize they actually are downright gorgeous.

 

The mountain death camas (Anticlea elegans) (formerly Zigadenus elegans), also known as elegant camas, is one of those. Here's a closer shot of one if you want to get in close: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/33674633612/

 

The name "death camas" stems from it being quite poisonous.
