This plant is aconitum or monkshood and not just the flower but every part of it contains a lethal neurotoxin. We saw it for the first time during our recent week's holiday, in two separate gardens open to the public. Well, I know one is not supposed to pick the flowers but................
@doblaine I thought the flower buds looked like closed up mussels.
Just been looking back at my rainbow challenge pics and I found that my very first post on day 1 of the colour red was the poisonous cuckoo pint??!!
@quietpurplehaze - LOL You have a talent for finding beauty among natures killers! Well they don't call toxic chemical management HAZCHEM for nothing. Ha Ha my little joke - I must be getting better.
@doblaine I'm just happy you are feeling well enough to make jokes!
What a day here, absolutely tipping down with rain and we were a bit lucky to have our walk before it got so bad but still all got wet, Jinks the worst with his low slung nature!! He's been trying to get up on the bed in here (spare room) but after several no's from me has gone in his own little bed on the landing. Nearly time for coffee and croissant methinks.
@debihas27 Thanks! I don't think any colour was more difficult than any other but I did get quite bored with green - also orange seemed to be a bit 'sinister' sometimes. How about you? I think after purple. this challenge has made me realise that red and then yellow are my favourites.
@quietpurplehaze red was my favorite!!!!...........yellow & purple were good too. I thought orange was tough & green I agree boring!!! I'm glad it joined it was fun: )
