Camas Bloom Throw Blanket

Through a field of green grass and small-headed clovers, the sun illuminates a vibrant stalk of wildflowers in shades of lilac and blue. You’ve just stumbled upon a meadow filled with one of the sacred plants of the Pacific Northwest: the Camas Flower.

Inspired by the sacred camas plant, Snoqualmie artist Taylor Cameron has taken the beauty and significance of this Pacific Northwest treasure to take root and blossom across her Camas Bloom Throw Blanket. At the center of her design, four camas bulbs bloom into vibrant purple flowers, surrounded by sage green leaves. The camas plant holds deep meaning for many Salish tribes, including the Snoqualmie people, where it is recognized as both a ceremonial food and symbol of ecological harmony. Sustainable harvesting of camas bulbs has long been practiced by tribal communities, ensuring the continued growth of the plant for generations to come.

“There is something so cathartic in learning the proper and traditional ways to harvest, replant, and care for plants to ensure their survival for the next spring,” shares Taylor. “Camas hold so much meaning and beauty: it provides food for important pollinators and animals in the ecosystem, and it provides food for the tribal communities who participate in ceremonial harvest practices. Camas is a plant that is sacred and should be protected at all costs when it comes to our people and the ecosystems we live in.”
