Rogue River Locoweed: The 63rd Flower of Spring & Summer!!

I think I'm on a poisonous flower kick, because here's the third in a row! This pretty flower gets its nickname (also known as Milkvetch) because of its toxic nature. It grows all over the United States and is an nightmare for lifestock owners. Cattle and other livestock are attracted to this plant and if they eat enough of it over the course of a week or two, they will begin to turn in circles, drool, lose weight, and get a dazed, dull look in their eyes. If owners don't notice, the animals can starve to death or die of heart ailments. Also, affected animals suffer from reproductive problems of many kinds.

Yet another flower which is beautiful yet deadly! If you would like to know more about this flower, Wiki has a great source here: Wiki: Locoweed (Astragalus)
