Last week, we discussed a few vegetables with toxic parts or traits. We also talked about houseplants and a big toxin we went over was oxalic acid. But I want to dive into some flowery poisons. So of course we need to talk about the pretty plants in many flower gardens that are actually poisonous. We discuss various bulb plants like daffodils and tulips, of course, as well as the simple weedy flowers, shrubs and vining plants that are toxic to both humans and animals. Our Greek and Roman mythology fans will love our discussion on daffodils/narcissus, because there are just so many stories concerning it. We also have stories of those who have survived such poisonings (and a few tragic stories as well, unfortunately). Oh, and some how, Audrey Hepburn makes it in this one? Come find out how and also learn what plants not to put in your mouth or allow children or pets around unmonitored. Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!
