I have snakeroot literally inundating my woods and the border of my lawn area. I mean they have taken over. Nice because they produce a nice white background but man, I cannot believe how fast they spread. Based on this years coverage they will be the only plant under the treee's next year. How can I stop or slow them down? Glad I don't have any cows. So that’s what it is.

Nope, can't see the ladies wearing 'em, but it's a good way to scare the guests away early from a wedding if you were looking to get rid of them :) The Snakeroot sure looks pretty in macro. I hadn't heard about the milk sickness before. We never had any experience with it in all the time we were milking cows and bringing milk straight from the tank to the house, as most dairy farmers do. Congrats on your win for the best NY blog! Good show old chap :) Did you ever get any snowdrops? I have extra bulbs if you'd like some. The little garter snake does actually remind me of men’s old fashioned garters, now that Leo mentions it.

( I thought the name may be related to the snake-like-shaped root of this plant. I haven't dug one. No chances.^^;) Is the medicinal use scientific? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Snakeroot Wikipedia does not me the answers. (I'm Korean living in Korea.^^; Looking for the origin of snake-root's name.)
