COMMON MONKSHOOD POISONOUS  FLOWERING PLANT IN BLOOM
Monkshood is a distinctive looking wildflower borne on shoulder high erect and sturdy stems.
The common name for this plant comes from the hood-like sepal on the flower. The hood is
thought to look like an old fashioned cowl worn by monks.
All parts of monkshood are poisonous, especially the roots and seeds, and the flowers if eaten.
In the past, wolves and criminals were poisoned with an extract from the European wolfsbane
Acontium lycoctonum. This species was also supposedly used as a component in witches brew.
