This Monday we discuss the Monkshood family of plants, a group of poisonous plant well known for their beautiful flowers and also their poison abilities. It has a pretty solid place in our mythology and is even one of the main plants used in Chinese Medicine.
Popular as one of the first plants to exist in cultivation purely for its beauty, and historically used as a way to kill wolves and other large beasts, Monkshood has been known as one of the most poisonous plants that exist! Everything from its leaves to its roots are poisonous and only small amount can cause death. Join us as we talk about where this plant comes from, some of the different varieties, and how this dangerous plant became so well known!
I had some difficulty hearing because of my internet connection in this one, so excuse any of my interruptions of poor Krista. Also I definitely butcher a lot of these names, my bad guys. Props to Krista our editor!
