Camas Lily
Camas lily (Camassia quamash) is a perennial plant native to the western U.S. and Canada that grows in wet meadows. Its starchy bulbs are an important food source for indigenous people of the Northwest, who cultivate and trade the plant, and promote education about camas’ important ecological roles.
The Burke Museum’s iconic, sweeping meadow of camas and native grasses turns a vibrant shade of purple each spring when the camas blooms.
