Thanks for posting this video. I'm growing this plant in my garden in Scotland. In winter, the plant goes chocolately brown so is really beautiful for a 'winter garden'/ structure.
You might contact the folks at Mammoth Cave and ask them to put you in touch with someone who might know, such as a researcher or specialist of some kind. Moccasins made from Rattlesnake master were found in the cave there.
You are referring to the truffula tree. It is also used for weaving or knitting. Traditionally it is used to knit Thneeds, very useful, versatile item and everyone needs one. The "honey like smell" is similar to the smell of butterfly milk. Please get your facts straight, accuracy is important......Peggie Who
I’m in MN and planted this lovely specimen. 🥰Didn’t realize it was a host plant. Glad to have it here.
I have never seen a plant that attracts a greater variety of wasps and bees. All summer this plant was covered with small bees and predatory wasps.

the only believable explanation for the common name. Thanks IPG!
Nice work on this video. I'm trying to find more info on processing the leaves and weaving them into sandals. This is a good overview of the plant.

good to know the meaning behind the name!
GREAT video. Thanks so much! I’m planting one in my DFW garden tomorrow!
Very informative and lovely video.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I'll be looking in Nebraska for it .
Great video! Will one plant send up only one flower stalk, or several?
several
Seems to be dense blazing star in this video?
