Snake Head Flower - Dangerous Beauty

Description

This head of flowers is from the African Snake Head plant.  It is a poisonous plant / flower that livestock regularly consume as this is the first "green" plant that shows after the dreary and dry winter months.  After consumption and only after water is drunk thereafter, will the animal (up to cow / cattle size) perish, death by poison through strychnine.   Wildlife, however, is totally immune to the poison of this plant.
