J20150723-0021—Lilium Parvum and Camassia quamash—RPBG

            Lilium Parvum—Alpine lily and  Camassia quamash—camas. Two plants that grow together in the garden, although not always in nature.  Camas bulbs were a major food crop for Indians of the northern Rockies and northwestern North America.  As such, Camas was the proximate cause of several wars between white settlers and Indians. Lilium parvum was never a major food crop although the bulbs did serve as emergency food from time to time. Photograped at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Region Park near Berkeley, CA.
