Monkshood or Aconitum carmichaelii loves the cool nights of fall. This beauty is also sometimes called wolfsbane because all parts of the plant are extremely poisonous and it was once used to poison arrows to kill wolves. When working with this plant take extra caution to wear gloves and avoid all skin contact with the plants’s juices. #plantfacts #plants #wolfsbane (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)
