🌿 #BotanicalWednesday: Monkshood
Also called wolfsbane. Hooded purple flowers, and so poisonous you shouldn't even touch it bare-handed. Greek myth says it first grew where Cerberus drooled!
In Under the Elm, find it in the Deep Woods 🌲
🌿 #BotanicalWednesday: Swamp Root
Marshmallows are named after this plant! The old sweet was made from the mucilage in marsh mallow root, which is the same slippery stuff that coats a raw throat.
In Under the Elm, find it in the Marshlands 🌾
