Poisonous Plant – Blue Flag, Wild Iris iridaceae (Iris versicolor)
Identification features: 2'–3' long sword-like leaves; irregularly shaped, blue to violet blossom that resembles an orchid. Plants emerge from rhizomes that are shallow. The flat, bladed leaves are usually tinted gray-blue.
Habitat: Damp marshes, fens, bogs, along streams, and the shores of lakes are home to wetland plants. It is radiant when transplanted to the garden.
Toxins: Rootstocks of several species in this genus include the poisonous, caustic, resinous irritants irisin and iridin.
Symptoms: May cause vomiting and nausea.
Rehydration (replacement of fluids) is first aid. In an emergency, get help by air.
It should be noted that a different irisin molecule is being researched for weight loss. Wild iris can be mistaken for delicious cattail shoots before they blossom. Keep in mind that cattail stems are round or oval in shape rather than flat, and they lack the gray-blue tinge.
