The Camas lilly is now in bloom! only comes once a year and its the best part of the spring around here! love living here in Camas, these are all over the city and make one hell of a tea
Camas is very common in central Idaho. I grew up on a cattle ranch there and it’s very good fried in butter and garlic. It’s a layer bulb like an onion that tastes like a potato!
Nice video. This plant is easy to grow and will self-seed if you don't disturb the area it grows. I get a big kick seeing camas, Erythronium, and shooting stars growing in Beacon Hill Park in downtown Victoria, BC. It's amazing seeing these wild, imperiled remnant native plants bloom inside a modern city. Other northwest cities (Seattle!) should try emulating the natural Oak/camas landscape in Victoria.
@@missxalim6822 I agree, I just worry that people will assume that it can be harvested without consequence. Traditional ecological knowledge needs to be respected when using camas.
I say with every sincerity, that as a child in Chicago's bustling inner city, the occasional (at that time) vacant lot offered us street wise little kids ample opportunities to play with a somewhat overgrown small wildwild life area; ie. Grasshoppers, lightningbugs, wild tobacco etc. Amazingly, we kid- street urchins must have counted over 12 or so species of wild onions and probably garlics---i mean the stuff grew like wild fire.....some were even rather large bulb onions like in the stores. Once we got bored smashing lightning bugs into colored paper, we gathered a collection of each of those pungeant (loud) onions, and took them home to our moms.....they always smiled at us....cant we eat them we quizzed? wellllllllll.....probablyyyyy not! They would say strangely......i would bet nowhere on the continent has that many varieties of wild onions---hence CHICAGO WILD ONION! Those neighborhoods are torn down now and overbuilt........tsk tsk. And i moved away long ago.
We’re learning about the American Indians in history and we are doing a diorama on the plateau so I didn’t know what these things were so I typed them in and I found this and hopefully you will tell me about what they are and what the roots are
1:20 wild game full filled the Corps nutritional needs just fine, they just couldn't find any at that time, after eating the Camas they all were sick for a week Clark first noted his nausea on September 20, then reported the next day, “I am very Sick to day and puke which relive me.”
Thank you for the clarification! I encourage everyone to check out this great website to help us appreciate just what Lewis & Clark accomplished: lewis-clark.org/content/content-tableofcontents.asp

🌻Hey! I am super happy to find your channel! Thanks! Camas is all around the property we have and I want to learn to harvest it! 🌸

Thanks for the video.
Camas takes a long time to reach maturity (i.e. before it will start flowering). Sometimes 5-8 years. Just something to think about.
While over harvesting can cause damage, while harvesting the right age (without harvesting too much) actually promotes more growth in that area

@@matthewdavis3971 I agree 100%
Would like to see more of these.
Where do i order Camassia Quamash blue ?
Have you tried Native Foods Nursery of Dexter Oregon? They ship plant stock where it's allowed.

Cookem in a slow cooker on low until they are sweet like syrup. The starches convert in to digestible sugars.

Thanks for that slight history lesson
You should take a look at the blue bonnet in Texas
