We discovered this very colorful flower while strolling the grounds of the VanDussen Botanic Garden. To quote Wikipedia, “Aconitum, … also known as aconite, monkshood, wolfsbane, leopard's bane, devil's helmet or blue rocket, … is a genus of over 250 species of flowering plants belonging to the family Ranunculaceae. … Most Aconitum species are extremely poisonous and must be handled very carefully”. I am glad I did not try to sample it!
