Field Notes
Description:
Beautiful, but deadly. Yeah, this is Flame lily. Flame lily is a semi-woody herbaceous, branching climber, reaching approximately 5 metres in height. The entire plant, especially the tubers, are extremely poisonous. The toxic properties of the plant are essentially due to the highly active alkaloid colchicine.
Habitat:
The plant grows in sunny positions in free draining soil; it is very tolerant of nutrient poor soils.
