#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSpring #BloomScrolling #NativePlants #NativePlantsOfThePNW@carolannie Sun Bear writes that only the corms of the dark blue Camassia's were eaten. Those with light flowers were regarded as non-edible. When the tribes wandered south in spring, they marked the dark ones. Coming back in autumn they digged out the corms in order to eat them in winter.
