These Bullhead Lilies are easy to find in the shallow marshy areas

7/23/07 – These Bullhead Lilies are easy to find in the shallow marshy areas of the Boundary Waters. Aside from their obvious aesthetic appeal they are also a favorite meal of moose. Sure enough I saw moose a few days ago on Alton pond munching away on the pretty yellow bulbs. He would dunk his whole head in the water and then come up with a mouthful. Actually people can eat the rootstalks as well if you boil them like potatoes. – Caitlin
