Description:
This BC native wild flower blooms in summer. The pendent pale pink flowers are held well above the narrow grey-green leaves. height and spread 12 inches.

Notes:
The bulbs are edible and were sought out by the First Nations people as a delicacy. During flowering season the gatherers would mark patches of bulbs, and then return in the late summer to dig the dormant bulbs. This was not just to collect the onions at their best flavour, but also to ensure that dangerous bulbs such as those of the poisonous Death Camass were avoided.
