6-26 Water Hemlock, Pipsissewa, Canada Lily

6-26 Swamps and low meadows are home to Water Hemlock, AKA Spotted Cowbane, all parts of which are deadly poison.

Waxy white or pink flowers and whorled, shiny, evergreen leaves make Pipsissewa easy to identify. Look for it in dry woods and on mossy banks.

The nodding flowers of Canada Lily, AKA Meadow Lily or Wild Yellow Lily, lift above meadows and swamps. Flowers may be yellow, orange or nearly brick red. John
