Jack-in-the-pulpit Brooch

One of the oddest looking flowers in the spring; this brooch features a Jack-in-the-pulpit digitally printed on wood.  

Eating almost any part of this plant will result in an unpleasant burning sensation as well as paint and swelling of the mouth, tongue, and throat.  Properly cooked the root can be eaten.  It was used as a treatment for snake bites and rheumatism in pre-colonial America.

Measures 5 cm in height.
