Zigadenus elegans, var.glaucus
(Liliaceae) --
I found this plant on a Labor day weekend trip to Michigan's Upper Penninsula two years ago. Unfortunately, as a consequence I
can't go back and check for particulars to further identify it. Fortunately there are several people who wrote to me to help identify it as "Northern Camas".
It is a member of the lily family, and is very poisonous.
