Safety note: Berries are toxic if ingested.
Queen's Cup is a delicate native wildflower of moist mountain forests in the Pacific Northwest and Rockies, producing a single white, upward-facing flower and a single deep-blue berry that shines like a jewel. It spreads by underground rhizomes to form loose colonies on the shaded forest floor. Many forest birds consume the berries.
