Spotted orange-yellow turk's cap blooms on tall stems. The fire-bright wildflower of Pacific Northwest meadows and open forests.
Fatal to cats. Every part is dangerous, including the pollen and the water in the vase, and a cat that brushes past a stem and grooms itself can suffer fatal kidney failure. Do not bring these into a home with cats, and treat any exposure as an emergency.
The bulbs are mildly poisonous if eaten.
For gardeners who like to stay ahead.
