Ecosystem records
No verified terrestrial ecosystem association assigned.
B.C. food-use reference; no verified ecosystem-zone match. Ecosystem records describe broad associations, not known patches or harvesting permission.
Timing and food-use notes
Not yet verified — no B.C. harvest months assigned. Weather, elevation and local conditions can change timing.
Verify the exact species, intended part and preparation with a qualified regional identifier. Months describe planning windows only.
Digging out bulbs, corms or whole roots removes or can kill the plant and can damage a patch. Leave wild plants in place unless access, stewardship and harvesting permissions are clear.
