An image of Locoweed (Astragalus utahensis) in its natural habitat in Utah's Canyonlands National Park. The leaves have hairy edges, giving them a white outline. The purple flowers are delicate and beautiful. But this botanical femme fatale presents problems for desert ranchers because it is poisonous and kills livestock when eaten. The plant initially affects the animal's brain, causing it to go crazy. Tourists and hikers can see this and other beautiful flowers in Utah and the American southwest.
