Lily of the Valley

Convallaria majalis    photo: K1

These are beautiful plants.  The flowers are charming.  They smell fabulous.   The foliage is extremely decorative and looks great all year.

They are also extremely poisonous.   Put some in a vase, and the water becomes poisonous enough to kill you.   If you put other plants in that water, you'll kill them, too.    Don't turn your back on these babies.

Cool, huh.
