Poisonous Plants - hosted by beersbooksandbooos

The Philosopher’s Bane
 Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) is one of the most poisonous and deadliest plants in the world. However, you should make the difference between poisonous hemlock and Queen Anne’s lace (Daucus carota). Poisonous hemlock grows throughout the United States. It is toxic to pets, livestock, and humans, so make sure you keep an eye on it should you choose to grow it in the garden.
Even though both are in theApiaceae familyand have hollow stems, poison hemlock’s stem is hairless and has purple blotches. Also, even a very young poison hemlock will display the purple blotching. On the other hand, the stem of Queen Anne’s lace doesn’t have purple blotches and is hairy. See the photos below for a comparison.
