List of Poisnonous Plants & Flowers

We thought we would share the list of poisonous plants and flowers. We had an incident a few years ago and we almost lost our cat, Cody. He got into some English Ivy and he spent days at the emergency center trying to recover from chewing on the stems. He recovered and is perfectly fine now, but it sure gave us a scare and made us aware when we did research on what plants and flowers were toxic. I know some of you probably didn't know how extensive the list is.
We are all thinking Spring right now and just want to remind all of you what flowers are considered toxic to your dogs and cats. Also, as it gets warmer outside, please be aware of the daffodils, crocus, tulip and primrose. Also, all the Lily family are poisonous. Be sure to not bring in the Easter Lillies. They are on the list. We just cut down our black walnut tree because the nuts are so toxic.
