All Poisonous !
« on: March 06, 2013, 13:18 »
This is quite a list
http://www.thompson-morgan.com/poisonous-flower-varieties

I was quite surprised with some of the old favourites listed there, andwonder what a cottage garden would be like without some of of them  :nowink:

Yeah, my border would be a much more boring place without them too!

Alnwick Castle has a garden set aside for them. It's got a separate locked entrance and you can't get in without a guide.

Did it really tell you to do that on the packet?

I couldn't be without irises, aquilegia; delphiniums (when they survive grr >:( ); fox gloves; daffs; clematis and lily of the valley - they are either stunningly pretty or have a great scent.

Well, don't come to my garden, you'd be dead in no time.  ::)

Funny thing is, St John's Wort is listed, yet Boots is full of the stuff  :tongue2: (warning ladies)
