Poisonous Plants - hosted by beersbooksandbooos

Lily of the Valley
 Should you ingest such flower – and we understand the appeal, it smells terrific – expect the worst. Lily of the Valley is a “grade 1” deadly flower on the poison scale. Also, it acts through the cardiac glycosides, which create a similar effect with the Digitalis exposure, meaning that this delicate, gorgeous, tantalizing flower is also one of the deadliest killer plants in existence.
